NFL News: Jayden Daniels sends clear message about contract dispute between Terry McLaurin and Commanders

Terry McLaurin has not yet reached an agreement to sign a contract extension with the Washington Commanders. Despite all the uncertainty and the trade request made by the player, Jayden Daniels was confident that the wide receiver will stay with the team during an interview with Dianna Russini.

“Oh, 100%. I feel great. I just know that it’s all going to work out. That both sides will come to an agreement and Terry’s going to be back out here. We’re going to be throwing some passes to him.”

After Daniels’ spectacular rookie season, which took the team to the NFC Championship Game, the Commanders are now seen as potential Super Bowl contenders. They need McLaurin to make it happen.

Is Terry McLaurin a free agent?

Terry McLaurin is not a free agent. However, he is signed just through the 2025 season and that’s why the star wide receiver wants a contract extension to be paid in a similar benchmark as top names such as Justin Jefferson, CeeDee Lamb or Ja’Marr Chase.

If McLaurin doesn’t strike a deal in the upcoming weeks, the player would become a free agent in 2026. In this scenario, the Commanders would still have the chance to franchise tag him.
