The Washington Commanders’ Large Receiver, Terry McLaurin, was a consistency model, and he wants to be paid for this because the Washington receiver has any career is the compulsory mini-camp for a new contract.
McLaurin, which entered the last season of a $ 68.4 million contract over three years, has totaled more than 1,000 reception yards in each of the last five seasons and has displayed 13 career receipt in 2024. The large quarter of the superstar Jayden Janden Daniels in the team pass; Washington has in the building if it wishes to face the NFC next season.
That said, the two parties may not find common ground before the training camp. And on this note, here are the three best commercial destinations for McLaurin, if the receiver and the commanders do not reach an agreement before week 1 of the regular season of the NFL 2025.

Cardinals have a lot to be optimistic about offensively, but perhaps they could take a step for a large n ° 1 receiver similar to what they have acquired Deandre Hopkins from Houston in 2020?
McLaurin, twice a professional player, would become the Large 1 receiver of the Arizona of the jump. Working under the mentality that the large receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., the overall choice n ° 4 of the NFL 2024 draft, leaps from year 1 to year 2, the cardinals could have a deadly punch of one with McLaurin and Harrison. And it was without mentioning the tight star Trey McBride – who finished fourth from the NFL with 111 receptions last season – the engine of the Arizona passee game.
Kyler Murray began his second full season of his torn ACL in 2022 and is still one of the most mobile quarters of the NFL. The ball carrier James Conner is a beating ram in the rear field. Combine Murray and Conner on the ground, with the trio of McLaurin, Harrison and McBride in the game of passes and the cardinals have one of the most dynamic offenses of the NFL. This could be what raises them at the top of the NFC West.
Despite all this excitement, the cardinals could benefit more from moving a brocbuster on the defensive side of the ball, because they are already investing in high -end / high draft choices in several offensive skills players (Harrison was a choice among the first five, McBride signed a four -year extension of $ 76 million during this season and Contner signed a two -million year, 19 million dollars in November).

The Broncos were one of NFL’s surprise teams last season, winning 10 games and winning a joker bunch with the Recruit Bo Nix quarter. Now, it is a question of relying on last season, and of acquiring a new large receiver n ° 1 as McLaurin would help them do exactly that.
Denver has a combination of young budding receptors at Marvin Mims Jr., Devaughn Vele and Troy Franklin and has just taken the receiver of Illinois Pat Bryant with the choice n ° 74 of the NFL 2025 draft. In addition, Courtland is probably the best season of his career, totaling 81 career receptions for 1,081 yards Broncos added Evan Engram to the winger tight to their core of passes.
They have a lot of respectable game leaders, but the broncos just had an encouraging season that ended with them marking seven points in a round joker defeat against the Buffalo Bills. They are also in a highly competitive AFC West, titled by the Chiefs of Kansas City, and are part of a busy AFC: why would an AFC team be satisfied with what they have?
McLaurin would be a welcome addition to the Denver reception hall and would help to mitigate the dependence that the franchise has placed on its young receivers to all. A scenario exists where Nix could have a slow year 2 after putting a lot of impressive cinema pieces in the 1st year (for example, Dak Prescott in 2017 and CJ Stroud in 2024). If this actually takes place, having an improved heart to capture passes around Nix can help compensate for this potential decrease in production. With McLaurin, we know exactly what they get: a standard and durable field weapon which can assume most of the attention of secondary.
At the same time, Denver may think that he did enough for the defense during the offseason (he signed the security Talanoa Hufanga, the Dre Greenlaw and the Cornerback Texas Jahdae with his first -round choice, among others) to improve as a collective and would also prefer to keep his receiver combined Salcaure at a minimum position with the selection project with the selection project with the selection Selections to do.

Everything well considered, win 11 games and play the playoffs in the first year with Jim Harbaugh as a chief coach was a success for the loaders. At the same time, Justin Herbert launched four interceptions in their loss of a Jauseuse round against the Texans, and the charges could certainly use more firepower on this side of the ball.
Ladd McConkey had a spectacular recruit season. But apart from the receiver now second, the charges have received dispersed performance of the position as a whole. Quentin Johnston had his moments but was incoherent; He had an eight -hit career summit, but seven passes also dropped last season. While McConkey is certainly capable of being the main catalyst for the Passage of Loads, McLaurin would give Herbert the long -standing star receiver who is exchanged by Keenan Allen, the last off -season, deprived him.
With McConkey open below and be versatile enough to scam games, McLaurin will not be the center of defensive attention, as if he has been his career in Washington. McLaurin, McConkey and the choice of draft in the second round Tour Harris would give Herbert a balanced and impactful reception trio on which to rely.
Of course, part of the Passage of Loads Passes is disappointing last season (213.5 yards per game per match, 19th in the NFL) is that they have become more a race team with the new attacking coordinator Greg Roman; Los Angeles rushed to 110.7 yards per match in 2024, against 96.6 yards per game in 2023. Meanwhile, Herbert in fact displayed a note of 101.7 career passers -by and launched for three career interceptions in the regular season.
Like broncos, loaders have endless obstacles to erase in the AFC. Sitting and simply the commissioning on an internal improvement seems good and is profitable, but if an opportunity to improve at a reasonable price emerges, it must be reflected. McLaurin could be the shock that the Passage of Loads needs needs.
