Terry McLaurin contract update: Dan Quinn delivers bad news for fans amid Commanders star's trade request

Terry McLaurin has been in the spotlight heading into the 2025 NFL regular season. The wideout has requested a trade away from the Washington Commanders following a breakdown in contract negotiations with the team.

While the Commanders reportedly might not want to trade McLaurin, Washington fans recently received some worrying news on the wideout's saga.

On Tuesday, Commanders coach Dan Quinn said that he still had no update on McLaurin, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic.

Dan Quinn said no update on Terry McLaurin.

McLaurin signed a three-year, $68.2 million extension he signed with the Commanders in 2022. He is expected to make a reported $18.8 million in total compensation for the 2025 season if he plays with Washington.

In July, McLaurin said he had been "pretty frustrated" with the state of his contract talks with the franchise. He was absent for the mandatory minicamp and missed the early phase of the training camp as part of his contract holdout, but reported to the team on July 27.

Although Terry McLaurin has reported to the Commanders' training camp, he is not practicing with the team. He is currently listed on the PUP list with an ankle injury.

"Terry McLaurin has reported, and we're very happy about that," Quinn said on July 27. "He'll start training camp on PUP for his ankle. On the business side, (Commanders general manager Adam Peters) and his side are still working very hard with Terry and his reps on the business side of things. While on PUP he'll be working with the trainers."

McLaurin had previously been on the Commanders' did not report list and was holding out for a new contract, which subjected him to fines of $50,000 a day. However, the wideout is now working with the Commanders' medical staff and cannot be fined.

Although some fans feel that the Commanders might be able to salvage their relationship with McLaurin and get him to sign a new contract extension, others believe that the two-time Pro Bowl wideout might leave the team before the regular season begins.

The Commanders will play preseason games against the Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens before kicking off their regular season against the New York Giants on Sept. 7.
