Terry McLaurin Starts Holdout

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin is not in attendance for the start of Tuesday's mandatory OTAs. He's angling for a new contract as he enters the final year of his current deal. McLaurin is scheduled to make $19.65 million this season, which ranks 16th among WRs. Insider Albert Breer reported last week that McLaurin is looking for at least $30 million per year on his next contract.

The Athletic's Ben Standig expects a deal to get done between Washington and McLaurin — although he cautions that it might not come until closer to training camp.

Unless this holdout extends into August, we're not adjusting McLaurin's spot in the 2025 WR Rankings.

That said, he wasn't a target to begin with at his WR17 best ball ADP. McLaurin is in for TD regression after scoring 13 times on 82 catches last year and faces increased target competition from WR Deebo Samuel.
