Terry McLaurin Next Team Odds: Could Star WR Land In AFC?

Terry McLaurin Next Team Odds: Could Star WR Land In AFC?

Fox Sports2 days ago
There is a bigger football story in Washington than the one coming out of the Oval Office.
Commanders' star receiver Terry McLaurin is looking for a new contract, and the team has yet to deliver it.
With that, is it possible that McLaurin could be on his way out of D.C.?
Let's see the odds at DraftKings Sportsbook as of July 21.
Terry McLaurin next team
Commanders: -400 (bet $10 to win $12.50 total)
Patriots: +400 (bet $10 to win $50 total)
Raiders: +550 (bet $10 to win $65 total)
Titans: +1000 (bet $10 to win $110 total)
Chargers: +1100 (bet $10 to win $120 total)
Jets: +1300 (bet $10 to win $140 total)
Browns: +1400 (bet $10 to win $150 total)
Steelers: +1500 (bet $10 to win $160 total)
Cardinals: +1600 (bet $10 to win $170 total)
While Washington remains at the top of the oddsboard, tensions are simmering between McLaurin and the only franchise he's ever played for.
Just last week, McLaurin said there had been little discussion between his representation and the team regarding an extension, calling the situation "disappointing."
In his six years with Washington, McLaurin has five 1,000-yard seasons, and barely missed 1,000 yards receiving as a rookie, putting up 919 yards in 14 games in 2019.
McLaurin, 29, is a fan favorite who has twice been named to the Pro Bowl, and 2025 will be the final year of a three-year, $68 million deal he signed with the team in 2022, meaning if he is not extended, he would be an unrestricted free agent heading into next season.
McLaurin sat out offseason spring activities and, according to reports, will likely sit out training camp and possibly carry a holdout into the regular season, unless a new deal is reached.
Second on the board to potentially acquire McLaurin's services are the New England Patriots. The Pats have not had a 1,000-yard receiver since the 2019 regular season, when Tom Brady was throwing passes to Julian Edelman (1,117 yards).
New England's new No. 1 receiver is Stefon Diggs, who is still recovering from a torn ACL suffered in Week 8 of last season.
Third on the board are the Raiders, who have had a 1,000-yard pass-catcher in each of the last six seasons. They will enter the 2025 campaign with tight end Brock Bowers and wideout Jakobi Meyers as new QB Geno Smith's top two targets.

25 best Indianapolis Colts since 2000

IndyStar is spending the summer looking at the best athletes from Indiana sports teams since 2000. Here is our list of the 25 best Indianapolis Colts players since 2000: Stats: 11 seasons, 176 games, 66.0%, 46,954 yards, 347 touchdowns, 155 interceptions, 97.5 passer rating Manning loses two seasons based on the timeframe but it makes no difference; he's an easy choice atop this list. Manning was named MVP four times, a six-time first-team All-Pro (and made a second team) and was a Pro Bowler for 10 seasons. Stats: 9 seasons, 130 games, 791 catches, 10,439 yards, 95 touchdowns Harrison loses four seasons — including an All-Pro year with 1,663 yards and 12 scores — due to the timeframe, so this spot is a little closer, but he's another easy choice. Harrison made seven All-Pro teams (2 first, 5 second) and seven Pro Bowls while setting the since-broken record with 143 catches in 2002. Stats: 11 seasons, 163 games, 44 forced fumbles, 107.5 sacks, 590 tackles, 113 tackles for loss Freeney made the Pro Football Hall of Fame as one of the league's greatest pass rushers. He led the NFL in sacks in 2004 (16) and tackles for loss (20) as a rookie in 2002, made All-Pro first team four times and second team once, as well as seven Pro Bowls. Stats: 7 seasons, 112 starts Nelson has made three All-Pro first teams and two seconds, as well as the Pro Bowl in all seven of his seasons. He's quickly establishing himself as one of the NFL's best guards of all-time and shows few signs of slowing down. Stats: 14 seasons, 211 games, 1,070 catches, 14,345 yards, 82 touchdowns After a relatively slow start to his career (1,899 yards over his first three seasons), Wayne became one of the NFL's most consistent receivers over the next nine years. He led the NFL in receiving yards in 2007 (1,510), made All-Pro three times (first once, second twice) and six Pro Bowls. Stats: 13 seasons, 188 starts The undrafted free agent became a full-time starter in his second season and only missed six games after that with the Colts. Saturday made five Pro Bowls, All-Pro first team twice and second team once. Stats: 6 seasons, 80 games, 7,673 rushing yards, 51 touchdowns, 4.2 yards per rush, 294 catches, 2,253 yards, 7 touchdowns No one takes a bigger hit for the timeframe than James, who loses a spectacular rookie season (NFL-high 1,553 rushing yards, 13 TDs, 62 catches, 586 yards, 4 TDs). He still made All-Pro second team twice and four Pro Bowls despite a knee injury the cut short his 2001 season and caused a dip in his production. Stats: 13 seasons, 192 games, 54 forced fumbles, 17 fumble recoveries, 123 sacks, 538 tackles, 108 tackles for loss Despite being a fifth-round pick, Mathis was an impact player almost immediately, hit double-digit sacks his second and third seasons, and established himself as an elite pass rusher. Mathis made All-Pro first team once and was a five-time Pro Bowler. Stats: 7 seasons, 48 games, 6 interceptions, 16 passes defended, 295 tackles, 10 tackles for loss How do you rate Sanders? He had one of the greatest three-year runs for a safety in NFL history, making first-team All-Pro twice — including being named Defensive Player of the Year— and being the key figure for the Colts' Super Bowl championship turnaround in 2006. But he played a total of 15 games with the Colts outside of those three seasons. Stats: 6 seasons, 70 games, 12 interceptions, 31 passes defended, 17 forced fumbles, 7 fumble recoveries, 15 sacks, 614 tackles, 32 tackles for loss He made All-Pro his first four seasons (first team three times) before injuries ended a remarkable career. Turnovers are not supposed to be predictable, but Leonard was a remarkably consistent playmaker. If you want to bump him down the list a few spots, I won't argue, but I'll take peak over longevity. Stats: 10 seasons, 143 games, 631 catches, 9,691 yards, 53 touchdowns He quickly became a primary target of Andrew Luck when both were rookies in 2012 and carried on the tradition of Colts' receivers Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne. Hilton led the NFL in receiving yards in 2016 (1,448) and made four Pro Bowls. Stats: 6 seasons, 86 games, 60.8%, 23,671 yards, 171 touchdowns, 83 interceptions, 89.5 passing rating, 1,590 rushing yards, 14 touchdowns What could have been. Luck, of course, retired at 29 due to injuries, so we will only rank him based on what he did. That, of course, was drag four teams to the playoffs, including one AFC championship game, and make four Pro Bowls. Did Luck live up to his potential? No, but he's still 12th on this list. Stats: 5 seasons, 78 games, 17 passes defended, 6 forced fumbles, 39 sacks, 342 tackles, 50 tackles for loss The Colts traded a first-round pick for the defensive tackle and have never regretted it. Buckner made first team All-Pro in 2020 and has made two Pro Bowls. If last year's injuries don't continue, he'll move up this list. Stats: 10 seasons, 154 starts Glenn started every game he appeared in, all but his 16 as a rookie right guard at left tackle, protecting Peyton Manning's blind side. He missed just 6 games in his career — all in 2003 — and returned to make three straight Pro Bowls before retiring at 30. Stats: 8 seasons, 123 games, 14 interceptions, 47 passes defended, 805 tackles, 16 tackles for loss The sixth-round pick quickly stepped into the Colts' starting lineup at safety, making two Pro Bowls in Indianapolis. Bethea had two seasons with 4 interceptions, defended at least 4 passes in all eight years with the Colts and had at least 100 tackles five times. Stats: 9 seasons, 121 starts The center started all 121 games he appeared in with the Colts before signing with the Vikings this offseason. He missed games in six of his nine seasons but made four Pro Bowls. Stats: 5 seasons, 67 games, 6,013 yards, 51 touchdowns, 4.9 yards per rush Taylor was spectacular his first two seasons, leading the NFL in yards (1,811) and touchdowns (18) in his second season (to make first team All-Pro) after rushing for 1,169 yards and 11 TDs as a rookie. He's struggled to stay healthy since but ran for 1,431 yards and 11 touchdowns last season, making his second Pro Bowl. Stats: 10 seasons, 144 starts The left tackle started all 144 games he appeared in, starting with Peyton Manning, through Andrew Luck and finishing with Philip Rivers. Castonzo never made a Pro Bowl but was an excellent left tackle for 10 seasons. Stats: 11 seasons, 150 starts An underrated member of the Peyton Manning-era Colts. The offensive lineman never made a Pro Bowl but after coming off the bench seven times as a rookie in 2001, he started every game he appeared in the rest of his career, primarily at right tackle. Stats: 9 seasons, 427 catches, 4,887 yards, 46 TDs A productive tight end, making the Pro Bowl in 2009 with 100 catches, 1,106 yards and 10 touchdowns. Clark only had two other seasons over 600 yards but was a reliable target for Peyton Manning. Stats: 8 seasons, 104 starts, 17 passes defended, 12 forced fumbles, 15 fumble recoveries, 28.5 sacks, 303 tackles, 45 tackles for loss Another underrated member of the Manning-era Colts, providing consistent production on the defensive line. Brock forced as many as 4 fumbles, defended as many as 4 passes, had 6.5 sacks twice and hit double-digits in tackles for loss twice. Stats: 9 seasons, 116 games, 12 interceptions, 29 passes defensed, 712 tackles, 21 tackles for loss Undrafted and undersized (5-11, 235 pounds), Brackett was the heart of the Colts' defense during their most successful run. He topped 99 tackles five times after entering the starting lineup and had seasons with 4 interceptions, 7 passes defended, and 6 tackles for loss. Stats: 14 seasons, 336 field goals, 85.3%, 507 PATs, 96.8% Ranking kickers is hard but Vinatieri — a future Pro Football Hall of Famer and the NFL's all-time leading scorer — has to be on the list. The Colts signed him as a free agent in 2006 at the age of 34 and he'd kick until he was 47. Vinatieri only made one Pro Bowl for the Colts, leading the league in field goal percentage in 2014 at .968. Stats: 9 seasons, 295 catches, 2,729 yards, 24 TDs Doyle made two Pro Bowls despite being an undrafted free agent who didn't step into a starting role until he was 26 in 2016. He had his best season in 2017 with 80 catches for 690 yards and 4 touchdowns, but he was best known for his versatile blocking skills. Stats: 8 seasons, 118 games, 20 interceptions, 62 passes defended, 10 sacks, 594 tackles, 36 tackles for loss

Colts make clear this isn't make-or-break season for Anthony Richardson

Colts management does not think this season will be the one that makes or breaks Anthony Richardson. Richardson is heading into his third season in the NFL, and during his first two, he's had plenty of ups and downs, inconsistencies and injuries, playing 15 games out of a possible 34 games. Even with this tumultuous beginning of Richardson's career, Colts general manager Chris Ballard said his young signal-caller doesn't necessarily have to have a breakout season. Advertisement 4 Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson. AP 'Sometimes you got to have a little patience with a guy and let him grow through things.' Ballard told reporters Tuesday. 'If you think, 'Hey he's on the right trajectory,' why are you gonna flush him, just because people outside think you should flush him, I don't agree with that.' Though Ballard has backed his quarterback, the Colts brought in former Giant Daniel Jones this offseason to provide competition for the starting spot. Advertisement But the Indianapolis GM cited examples of teams giving up on their quarterbacks as a cautionary tale for what could happen if they punt on Richardson too quickly. 'Do you think people regret Baker Mayfield's timeline? Sam Darnold's timeline?' Ballard said. In the case of the two quarterbacks Ballard mentioned, both flourished outside of the teams that drafted them. Advertisement 4 Colts GM Chris Ballard talked about Anthony Richardson on Tuesday. AP The Browns moved on from Mayfield after four up-and-down seasons, and he's now become a solid leader on the Buccaneers. Darnold took multiple teams to find his mojo after getting drafted in 2018 by the Jets. Last year on the Vikings, his fourth NFL team, he led the team to the playoffs and earned a spot in the Pro Bowl for the first time, and he is now the starting quarterback for the Seahawks. 4 Anthony Richardson last season against the Jets. Bill Kostroun/New York Post Advertisement The comments come soon after owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon said Richardson still has time to become a franchise QB. 'Where he is in his career and in his deal as a rookie, we still have time,' Irsay-Gordon told Monday. 4 Daniel Jones with the Colts during minicamp. AP 'He still has time to prove it. … Bring a sense of urgency. And nothing brings a sense of urgency more than competition.'

Tyrann Mathieu retirement: Former Arizona Cardinals draft pick retires after 12 seasons

Mathieu played 12 NFL seasons, had three Pro Bowls and three All-Pro selections. A former Arizona Cardinals player who was key during their run of success in the middle of the 2010s has called it a career. Safety Tyrann Mathieu, originally drafted by the Arizona Cardinals, announced his retirement from the NFL after 12 seasons. He made the announcement on his Instragram account. As I hang up my cleats, I'm filled with gratitude as I close this chapter of my life and officially retire from the game that's shaped me in every way. From my first snap in college to my final play in the NFL, this journey has been nothing short of a blessing. Football gave me purpose, discipline, and memories that will stay with me forever. But more than anything, it gave me a community. To every coach who believed in me, every teammate who battled beside me, and every fan who showed up, cheered, and rode with me through the highs and lows, thank you. You gave me strength when I needed it most, and your love carried me farther than I ever imagined. I hope I made you proud out isn't goodbye — it's just the next chapter. Much love, always. Tyrann 💚 If you read through the comments, you will see many former Cardinals teammates — Carson Palmer, Kerwynn Williams, Rashad Johnson, Justin Bethel, Jaron Brown, Tyvon Branch, Chris Johnson, Elijhaa Penny and Frostee Rucker — had kind words. And if you're wondering why Patrick Peterson wasn't in the comments, it's because he had his own Instagram post about Mathieu's retirement. He was drafted in the third round in 2013 and made an immediate impact. He was fourth in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting but tore his left ACL near the end of his season. He played in 13 games in 2014 but was great in 2015, earning first-team All-Pro honors, picking off five passes and breaking up 17 passes. But he tore his other ACL at the end of the season. After a big contract extension before the 2016 season, he played two more seasons before the Cardinals cut him. He played seven more seasons with the Houston Texans, Kansas City Chiefs and, for the last three seasons, the New Orleans Saints. In his career, he earned three Pro Bowl selections and three first-team All-Pro selections. The Cardinals posted a congratulary message to social media with the announcement. Mathieu finishes his career with 838 total tackles, 11 sacks, 36 interceptions, four returned for touchdowns, 100 pass breakups, seven forced fumbles and eight fumble recoveries.
