The Washington Commanders finally reached an agreement with wide receiver Terry McLaurin on a contract extension. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that McLaurin’s agents, Buddy Baker and Tony Bonagura, communicated that it’s a three-year deal worth up to $96 million.
With this in mind, Jayden Daniels and the Commanders have their best wideout ready to go. Hence, it’s time to look at the wide receiver depth chart to closely see what Jayden Daniels has at his disposal.
- WR1: Terry McLaurin
- WR2: Deebo Samuel
- WR3: Noah Brown (currently injured)
- WR4: Luke McCaffrey
- WR5: Chris Moore
- WR6: Michael Gallup
There are other names like Ja’Corey Brooks, Tay Martin and Braylon Sanders on the roster, but they might get cut anytime due to the 53-man roster deadline on August 26th.
McLaurin takes this team to a whole new level
If you look at the depth chart, without McLaurin this wouldn’t be a scary offense. This means, the nickname ‘Scary’ Terry is truer than ever. He is the one that makes this offense one to really worry about.

McLaurin caught 70.1% of all his targets for 1096 yards and a career-high 13 touchdowns. Not only that, but he is very reliable. He’s played all 17 games for the last four years straight, missing only five games in his career, which were all in his first two years.

- Justin Jefferson – $35 million
- CeeDee Lamb – $34 million
- D.K. Metcalf – $33 million
