Since McLaurin has requested the trade, not much ground has been made up between the two parties. ESPN's Peter Schrager said on Aug. 13 that the situation is "fascinating" because "nothing has changed and they're still a bit apart." McLaurin was spotted talking to Adam Peters on August 12 at practice.

McLaurin continued his consistency as Washington's top target, posting his fifth straight 1,000-yard campaign and ranking second in the league with 13 touchdown catches. Keim notes that, even so, he enters the final year of his current deal ranked 17th among receivers in average annual salary.

The Washington Commanders can trade Terry McLaurin to the Green Bay Packers for 6-foot-4 replacement Christian Watson in this scenario.

"McLaurin's age is a concern for the Commanders. There are six wide receivers who have signed contracts averaging $32 million per year or more. Metcalf, who turns 28 in December, is the oldest. A majority of the six were either 25 or close to being 25 when they signed," Corry wrote.

The Commanders’ offense has lacked continuity this summer, and the offensive coordinator wants to see the full group together on the field.

The time is coming for Washington Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin to make a choice. The wait goes on for Washington Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin and his contract to be finalized, and so far throughout training camp, McLaurin hasn’t practiced.
