Set to enter the final year of his contract, McLaurin initially held out of training camp as he and the team were not close to an agreement. Then, McLaurin reported to camp to avoid the fines, but he still was not practicing as the two sides made no progress.
Here’s the latest on where McLaurin stands with the Commanders.

Terry McLaurin trade request
Terry McLaurin officially requested a trade from the Commanders on Thursday, Jordan Schultz first reported. The Commanders’ wide receiver has been with the team since he was drafted in 2019, but he’s set to be a free agent after the 2019 season.

After initially holding out, McLaurin reported to camp earlier this week to avoid getting fined every day. However, it’s clear that McLaurin returning to camp didn’t spark negotiations, leading the veteran to ask for a trade.
Despite the request, the Commanders do not plan on trading the wide receiver, John Keim reports. That’s been the case throughout contract negotiations, and that appears to remain the case as the trade request likely won’t change Washington’s plans.
