Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin enters the last year of his current deal, at a base salary of $15.5 million. With the new-money market now north of $40 million, he clearly deserves an adjustment. Acknowledging that fact is one thing; coming up with a number that makes him happy is another.

The Washington Commanders have been put on notice by their star wideout. Training camp begins in earnest next week, and Terry McLaurin still has not received the contract extension he's been after for months now.

McLaurin sat out of mandatory minicamp in June — incurring over $100,000 in fines — as he enters the final season of a three-year, $68,364,000 contract, which ranks 16th-highest in the NFL in terms of average annual value. If McLaurin, 29, does not secure a new contract, he could continue to sit out.
