Source: Commanders' McLaurin requests trade

According to a report from ESPN, Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin has requested a trade from the team. McLaurin, who is considered one of the top young receivers in the NFL, is seeking a new contract with the Commanders. However, the two sides have been unable to reach an agreement on a new deal. The report states that McLaurin's trade request comes as he enters the final year of his rookie contract. The Commanders have the option to franchise tag him for the 2023 season, but McLaurin is reportedly looking for a long-term extension. McLaurin has been a standout player for the Commanders since being drafted in the third round in 2019. He has recorded over 1,000 receiving yards in two of his three NFL seasons and has emerged as one of the team's top offensive threats. The Commanders will now have to decide whether to grant McLaurin's trade request or try to work out a new contract with the star wide receiver.
