Terry McLaurin Reportedly Not In Attendance For First Day Of Commanders’ Camp

When the Washington Commanders reported to training camp on Tuesday, one of their top players didn’t join them. Terry McLaurin wasn’t in attendance for the first day of Commanders’ training camp as he’s in the midst of a contract dispute, ESPN reported. 

The star wide receiver has been outspoken about wanting a new deal this offseason. Entering the final year of his contract, McLaurin told reporters last week that it was “disappointing and frustrating” that he and the team haven’t had substantive extension talks to this point. 

McLaurin, who earned his second Pro Bowl nod last season, hasn’t decided if he’ll ask for a trade yet, but he’s most interested in “trying to bring a deal together, not breaking the team apart,” a source close to the receiver told FOX Sports’ Henry McKenna. However, “everything will be on the table,” that source iterated to McKenna. 

The Commanders held their conditioning tests on Tuesday and will hit the practice field for the first time in training camp on Wednesday. While McLaurin didn’t report to camp on Tuesday, he could theoretically show up on Wednesday, but not practice to avoid getting fined. 

This is a developing story and will be updated.
