Amid an explosive offseason at the wide receiver position, another major domino is falling. The Commanders and Terry McLaurin agreed to terms on a three-year extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reports (on Twitter).
Washington is giving its top target a contract worth up to $71MM, Schefter notes, with a $28MM signing bonus (Twitter link). In terms of average annual value, the Commanders went to $23.3MM for the fourth-year standout, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com tweets.
A lengthy negotiation that included McLaurin stepping away from the team’s offseason activities for weeks, including a minicamp absence, will produce a resolution — one that will certainly have a significant effect on the rapidly shifting wideout market.
More to come.
