ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Anyone looking for a testy rejoinder from the Washington Commanders’ key figures following Terry McLaurin’s candid comments last week about lingering contract extension talks will be disappointed. The same goes for fans hoping general manager Adam Peters and coach Dan Quinn would announce an agreement with the team's top wide receiver at their pre-training camp news conference on Tuesday. “In terms of where we’re at, we’ve had conversations recently and we will look to have some more conversations,” Peters said, "and we’re going to do everything we can in order to get a deal done.” McLaurin, who skipped mandatory minicamp and some voluntary workouts this spring, signed a three-year, $68.2 million extension in 2022 with the Commanders' previous regime.
