As the Washington Commanders veterans reported to training camp on Tuesday, wide receiver Terry McLaurin was notably absent. McLaurin, who is currently seeking a new contract, did not attend the camp, according to reports from Moneyline.

The 29-year-old receiver is entering the final season of a three-year, $68.2 million contract extension. Over his six-year career, McLaurin has been a consistent performer, recording at least 77 receptions and accumulating over 1,000 receiving yards in each of the past five seasons. In the previous year, he achieved career highs with 82 catches for 1,096 yards and 13 touchdowns, contributing significantly to the Commanders' success, which included a trip to the NFC Championship Game for the first time since 1991.

McLaurin's absence from training camp aligns with comments he made to reporters, expressing concern about a lack of progress in contract discussions. While he emphasized his commitment to the team and indicated he was not seeking a trade, McLaurin articulated the importance of receiving fair compensation reflective of his performance and contributions. Commanders General Manager Adam Peters acknowledged the value McLaurin brings to the team and confirmed ongoing discussions aimed at reaching a new agreement.
