The contract talks between the Washington Commanders and Terry McLaurin reached a crossroads when the star wide receiver requested a trade out of Washington. Though that move muddies his future with the franchise,

Commanders coach Dan Quinn insisted the trade request made by his team’s star receiver, Terry McLaurin, is “part of normal business” in the NFL and is not a distraction to the team.

McLaurin, who turns 30 in September, is entering the final season of a three-year, $68.4 million deal. On the wide receiver front, superstar Ja'Marr Chase signed a four-year, $161 million extension with the Cincinnati Bengals in March, while Garrett Wilson signed a four-year, $130 million extension with the New York Jets in July.
