The Washington Commanders are reportedly telling potential trade partners star wide receiver Terry McLaurin is unavailable.
The wideout has reported to training camp but is still seeking a contract extension. (He’s entering the final year of his deal and set to make $15.5M this season.) The former Ohio State Buckeyes star reportedly wants more money than Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf, who signed a four-year, $132M deal this offseason.
Despite the impasse, Washington is still aiming to extend him before its regular-season opener against the New York Giants on Sept. 7.
“When you have conversations around the league about availability, Terry’s not one of those,” The Athletic’s Dianna Russini said Wednesday on “Scoop City.” “Teams are continuing to get the same answer, which is, ‘We’re trying to work out a deal here.'”
WR-needy teams may be interested in McLaurin, who turns 30 on Sept. 15. Russini previously tweeted the Minnesota Vikings, New York Jets and San Francisco 49ers have been monitoring the trade market for wideouts.
