The Washington Commanders enter the 2025 NFL season with heightened expectations after a surprising run to the NFC Championship Game behind star rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels and some miraculous last-second wins late in the season.

W ashington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin reportedly wants "to bring a deal together" with his current employer regarding a contract extension. Still, he nevertheless elected to stay away from the team during the start of training camp practices this week.

There's one layer to the situation that hasn't been unpeeled, except a local radio host is worried all the same. Grant Paulsen, who appears on 106.7 The Fan in the D.C. area, wonders if McLaurin will eventually request a trade.
