The ESPN NFL Adam Schefter initiate appeared on “Pat McAfee show“Monday and offered an honest update On the situation, describing the gap between the two parties as “vast”.
“It was vast,” said Schefter. “And it is therefore up to both parties to find a way to fill their differences.”
McLaurin has been one of the most reliable receivers In the NFL since entering the League – but he is looking for a contract that reflects this. At this point, he is not only trying to be paid; He seeks to reset the market or at least reach the level of his peers.
“DK Metcalf was in the same draft class as Terry McLaurin, and he obtained $ 33 million a year,” said Schefter. “I don’t think Terry is ready to take less than that. And I think he wants much more. ”

This is the problem. Commanders appreciate McLaurin, but clearly not the number it requires – at least not yet.
“They love and appreciate Terry McLaurin,” added Schefter, “but they love it and appreciate it at a different price.”
Until now, this price difference has not shrunk and with both sides dug, the situation does not seem to be at a distance close to being resolved.
“These two parties seem separated from an agreement,” said Schefter. “As, they don’t seem close today. And I don’t know how they are going to do this and resolved and understood.”
However, Schefter finally left the door open for progress.

“These things usually find a way to understand each other over time,” he said. “However, I don’t feel like anything is close.”
McLaurin’s decision to hold is logical. He has just left a year of career and, at 30, probably plans his last chance in a great salary.
Last season, he captured 82 assists for 1,096 yards and 13 affected – second in the league. It also has an average of 13.4 yards per reception and recorded five games of 100 yards, proving again that it is a high -level weapon.
But for the moment, this weapon remains on the sidelines. Unless Washington is ready to get closer to its requested price, this is exactly where McLaurin will remain.
