Terry McLaurin's next team odds following shocking trade request from Commanders
Terry McLaurin wants out of Washington, but don't expect a quick exodus.
McLaurin, nicknamed 'Scary Terry,' is not pleased with his contract and wants a new one or a trade from the franchise, which has its eyes firmly set on winning the Super Bowl this year.
Oddsmakers at DraftKings see it as unlikely that McLaurin winds up being shipped out of Washington, as they've tagged the Commanders with -250 odds to be the team that the wideout suits up for in Week 1 (or whenever he plays his first game).
Those odds carry a 71.43 percent implied probability.
There are two clear favorites should he be moved, though, according to the sportsbook.
The Patriots' odds to acquire McLaurin are +450 (18.18 percent implied), which gives them the second-best chance of any team in the NFL to acquire him.
The Raiders are third, with +500 odds to bring in Scary Terry.
Every other team looks to be a long shot to pony up enough assets or money for McLaurin, according to the bookies.
No other team is lower than 10/1 to get McLaurin.

Terry McLaurin next team odds
Team Odds Commanders -250 Patriots +450 Raiders +500 Titans 11/1 Chargers 11/1 Jets 13/1 Browns 14/1 Steelers 15/1 Cardinals 16/1 Seahawks 25/1 Odds provided by DraftKings
McLaurin has been highly productive for the Commanders and looked primed for a breakout season in 2025 alongside newly acquired Deebo Samuel and a second year with Jayden Daniels.
He scored an impressive 13 touchdowns in 2024 to go along with 1,096 yards as he and Daniels formed a dynamic duo.
Washington went to the NFC Championship game last season and is poised to be even better in 2025 after bringing in Samuel and pass rusher Von Miller — although losing McLaurin would limit that ceiling.

NFL holdouts, contract negotiation tracker: Micah Parsons, Terry McLaurin request trades; James Cook skips practice
NFL training camp season is officially upon us, which means holdout/hold-in season is too as players seek new contracts. One day after Terry McLaurin reportedly requested a trade from the Washington Commanders, Dallas Cowboys pass rusher Micah Parsons followed suit. Parsons posted his desire for a trade via a long social media post, which included details about how contract negotiations with the Cowboys turned sour in the last few months. Owner Jerry Jones said he has no plans on trading Parsons when talking to the media on Saturday. Jones said he isn't fazed by the trade request and sees it a merely a negotiating tactic. "That's negotiation," Jones told reporters. "I've heard that so many times in my 30 years in the NFL." Like Parsons, McLaurin has reported to training camp but has sat out practices with an injury. But with no new deal in place, McLaurin has taken things to the next level. The Commanders reportedly don't plan to fulfill the star receiver's trade request, but things are getting tense for these two star players and their respective clubs. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] What other big names either haven't reported or aren't taking full part in practice while seeking a new contract? Are their situations roiling or boiling? Here's the latest, where we rank each situation by the attention and rancor from both sides. Dallas Cowboys pass rusher Micah Parsons As Parsons put his cards on the table with a trade request, it's hard to know if this is just another negotiating tactic or if he is truly fed up. Yahoo Sports' Jori Epstein reported that a major sticking point is owner Jerry Jones believing he already made a verbal deal with Parsons a few months ago. Parsons said his agent will work out a deal. The Cowboys are no strangers to drawn-out contract talks, but the level of acrimony here only seems to be growing. Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin McLaurin reported to the Commanders on Sunday morning, but his subsequent trade request indicated negotiations aren't going well. The two sides have not made progress on a new deal, ESPN reported. Is this trade request simply a tactic to pressure Washington, or is it real? Cincinnati Bengals pass rusher Trey Hendrickson Hendrickson reporting to camp on Wednesday by no means the situation has simmered much. If anything, it seems like the prudent play considering he's being fined $50,000 a day for each practice he misses. It doesn't change the fact that Hendrickson went gloriously passive-aggressive and posted about being in Florida as camp opened last week, nor that he called a recent Bengals offer "atrociously, atrociously low." This is still a big one to monitor. Buffalo Bills RB James Cook dCook ha been practicing throughout camp until he missed Sunday's session for an undisclosed reason. When asked why he sat out, he told one reporter: "business." Cook has talked openly about his desire for a new contract. "I deserve what I want," he said last month. We'll see if this escalates. Green Bay Packers OL Elgton Jenkins Jenkins said he missed OTAs for a "family matter" and not his contract situation. He was activated off the NFI list last week and practiced Monday, including playing center and snapping to Jordan Love. Green Bay just paid offensive lineman Zach Tom record-setting signing bonus money as part of his new contract. Will Jenkins get one too? And how will his move from guard to center affect that deal? San Francisco 49ers WR Jauan Jennings Jennings has been officially practicing with the 49ers, which indicates he's not planning to hold in, though he has missed several practices with a calf injury. Head coach Kyle Shanahan disputed the report that Jennings had asked for a trade if he didn't get a contract extension. The injury adds an interesting wrinkle as Jennings seeks an extension.

Players in contract years have powerful postseason leverage
Players stuck in the last year of a substandard contract don't have many options. There's one very viable option that rarely gets discussed. We know about the preseason holdout. We know about the preseason hold-in, whether it's done with both sides aware the player won't be practicing — or whether the player is "injured." The player also could cite an injury (or an "injury") to justify missing regular-season games, without losing pay. Those are old hat. Been there, done that. There's one more option, the mere mention of which strikes a nerve for the powers-that-be. Largely because it would leave the teams powerless. For a player in the last year of his contract, his obligation ends with the final game of the regular season. Which means that he can walk out at the start of the postseason (or at any point during the playoffs) with no contractual consequence. We made this point last December, in relation to Bengals receiver Tee Higgins. He was looking at a total postseason upside of only $348,000 for up to four games, after earning more than $1.2 million per week under the franchise tag. And he would have been risking an injury that would have potentially wiped out his earning potential, via free agency or a new deal or the $26.2 million franchise tag for 2025. Because the Bengals didn't make the playoffs, Higgins never had to make the decision on whether to assume extra risk for not much extra pay. For Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson, Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin, Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons, Bills running back James Cook, Rams running back Kyren Williams, and other players in contract years, it becomes a very real consideration. Without a new contract, why not walk away when the current contract is fulfilled? It would obviously trigger a shitstorm of controversy. Fans would revolt against the player. Many in the media wouldn't understand. Even some in the locker room would be miffed at the player who had been denied a financial reward consciously and deliberately declined to play in the postseason. So how about this approach? Announce the intentions right now. Explain it clearly. "Playoff games are extra games, for not very much extra pay. I won't be playing in the extra games unless I get financial security beyond the current season." It's one thing for Micah Parsons to request a trade. It's quite another for Parsons to say that, without a new contract, he'll refuse to play in the playoffs. That he'll do everything in his power to help the Cowboys qualify, but that unless the Cowboys give him the contract they've failed to give him since the conclusion of his third regular season, he will not be playing. Ditto for McLaurin, Hendrickson, and the rest. The sooner the point is made, the sooner folks can come to terms with it. And, if the player ultimately doesn't play in the playoffs, maybe the team and not the player will get the blame for the situation. It's easy to blame the player. It's easy to line up behind the owners and root for the laundry. But the owners know how to use business leverage. Which is why they will not be thrilled if/when this specific form of business leverage is ever used against them.

Raiders safety Lonnie Johnson Jr. suffered broken leg in mock game, AP source says
HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — Raiders safety Lonnie Johnson Jr. broke his right leg in Las Vegas' mock game on Saturday, a person with knowledge of the injury told The Associated Press. The person spoke to the AP on Sunday on condition of anonymity because the specifics of the injury were not announced. That person also said more information was needed to determine how long Johnson, who fractured his fibula, would be sidelined. Johnson has been competing on the second team in practices, but has been with the starters when the Raiders have gone to nickel defenses. This is his seventh season in the NFL. Johnson signed as a free agent after playing last season in Carolina. He started once for the Panthers and played in 15 games, making seven tackles. He also has played for New Orleans, Tennessee and Houston and has 20 career starts with 199 tackles and four interceptions. ___ AP NFL:
