While it’s encouraging neither side is in a rush to get a deal done, the longer the Commanders wait, the higher McLaurin’s price tag rises.
In spite of inconsistent QB play, McLaurin has posted consecutive 1,000-yard seasons and has 164 receptions to show for it.
Regardless, it’s clear Spotrac believes McLaurin deserves to be a top-five highest-paid receiver in the NFL, or something close to it.
The Commanders don’t have the reputation of a functional franchise, but even they know what they have in McLaurin.
With the market soaring, the team might as well get another potential future stud under a rookie contract for the next few years.
