The team didn't announce the financial terms,
put multiple reports pegged it at up to $70 million.
McLaurin, 26, is entering the final season of his four-year
rookie deal. He will earn a $2.79 million base salary in 2022.
A third-round pick from Ohio State in 2019, McLaurin caught 77
passes for 1,053 yards with five TDs last season. He had 87
receptions for 1,118 yards and four touchdowns in 2020,
production that looks even more impressive when the revolving
door at quarterback in Washington is taken into consideration.
This season, he is set to work with quarterback Carson Wentz,
acquired in a trade with the Indianapolis Colts.
With the Commanders, McLaurin has appeared in 46 career
regular-season games, all starts, and has 222 catches for 3,090
yards and 16 touchdowns.
He is one of three NFC wide receivers, joining Davante Adams and
Justin Jefferson, to have at least 75 receptions and 1,000
receiving yards in each of the past two seasons.
