Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin is reportedly willing to explore every option for a new deal, including requesting a trade, according to FOX Sports' Henry McKenna.
The All-Pro wideout is entering the final year of his contract, and the communication breakdown has led to him voicing his frustrations publicly. It's an unexpected turn of events for a player who led the Commanders in receiving and served as quarterback Jayden Daniels' favorite target during his run up to an NFC Championship appearance last season.
McLaurin is still hoping that he ultimately gets a deal done with the Commanders, per McKenna, but he is also willing to shake things up, if necessary, to get an extension.
McKenna wrote:
"If necessary, McLaurin will explore every option, including a holdout, a hold-in and a trade request, per the source. "Everything will be on the table," the source told me."
It's hard to envision the two sides not coming together and getting a deal done, but if the situation goes completely off the rails, the Patriots are a team that would likely show serious interest in trading for McLaurin. I recently put together multiple trade packages New England could offer in a potential deal with the Commanders.
McLaurin hauled in 82 receptions for 1,096 yards and 13 touchdowns last season. He's a proven veteran with a solid track record of working with young, inexperienced quarterbacks.
Given all of the uncertainties surrounding Stefon Diggs' recovery, the addition of another elite playmaker, like McLaurin, would be a sure-fire game-changer.
