Both spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity
because the negotiations were private.
McLaurin has been holding in at training camp. The veteran
reported to camp Sunday after skipping the first four practices
and parts of the offseason program. He remains on the physically
unable to perform list with an ankle injury while contract talks
continue.
The Commanders reached the NFC championship game last season
under first-year coach Dan Quinn and rookie quarterback Jayden
Daniels. They added wideout Deebo Samuel in the offseason and
are aiming to make a run at the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia
Eagles in the NFC East.
McLaurin had 82 catches for 1,096 yards and a career-high 13
touchdowns last season, earning second-team All-Pro honors.
Several star players have requested trades from their teams due
to contract issues over the past few years but ended up staying
put — including Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, Browns edge
rusher Myles Garrett and 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk.
Samuel asked for a trade from the 49ers a few years ago only to
get a new deal in San Francisco. He was traded to Washington
this past offseason.
