But few expected contract negotiations between McLaurin and the Commanders to break down to the point of a Patriots trade even being a possibility.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, NFL insider Jordan Schultz dropped a report that reminded NFL fans that there is no such thing as a sure thing in the NFL. McLaurin, who is an apparent hold-in at training camp, reportedly requested a trade from the Commanders.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>The decision comes with McLaurin playing in the final year of his contract and stalled negotiations between the two sides.<\/p>\n<p>The Patriots currently have 11 wide receivers on their roster.<\/p>\n<p>Stefon Diggs, who is coming off a torn ACL, is expected to be their top receiving option. Demario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte and rookie Kyle Williams have also been top targets in training camp.<\/p>\n<p>Adding an elite player like McLaurin to the mix could give the Patriots one of the best receiving corps in the league. He has 1,000-plus receiving yards in his last five straight seasons, and he served as star quarterback Jayden Daniels&#8217; favorite receiving target in his rookie year. The veteran wideout finished the 2024 season with 82 catches for 1,096 yards and 13 touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what Patriots Twitter was saying about McLaurin&#8217;s trade request:<\/p>\n<p>Follow Patriots Wire on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Patriots_Wire?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Twitter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/PatriotsWire\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Facebook;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This article originally appeared on Patriots Wire: <a href=\"https:\/\/patriotswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/patriots\/2025\/07\/31\/patriots-twitter-reacts-terry-mclaurin-requesting-trade\/85467307007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Patriots Twitter reacts to Terry McLaurin reportedly requesting trade;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Patriots Twitter reacts to Terry McLaurin reportedly requesting trade<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Washington Commanders All-Pro wide receiver Terry McLaurin has been a dream trade target for the New England Patriots&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":252298,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2050],"tags":[7354,7,734,6085,6306,7352,1167,249,2326,2094,6,208,50052,531,7186,2854,111],"class_list":{"0":"post-252297","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-england-patriots","8":"tag-demario-douglas","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-jayden-daniels","11":"tag-jordan-schultz","12":"tag-kayshon-boutte","13":"tag-kendrick-bourne","14":"tag-new-england","15":"tag-new-england-patriots","16":"tag-newengland","17":"tag-newenglandpatriots","18":"tag-nfl","19":"tag-patriots","20":"tag-patriots-twitter","21":"tag-stefon-diggs","22":"tag-terry-mclaurin","23":"tag-the-patriots","24":"tag-washington-commanders"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114951397402778533","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252297","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=252297"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252297\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/252298"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=252297"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=252297"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=252297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
