Will Commanders' Terry McLaurin Fetch Top Dollar In Contract Talks? originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The only blight on the Washington Commanders' last two offseasons is playing out before our eyes, with Terry McLaurin not a happy camper with his current contract situation.

Having already sat out of OTAs and mandatory minicamp as he looks to force through a deal, training camp is on the horizon, and the big-money deal Terry wants, he hopes, will be forthcoming.
But exactly what he wants and what the Commanders are willing to pay isn't known, but we think a contract worth roughly $30 million APY is valid.
However, if McLaurin is thinking that he can break the market, CBS Sports has news for him.
"McLaurin is one of the most underrated wide receivers in football," CBS Sports writes. "Coming off five consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, McLaurin put up numbers despite the myriad of quarterbacks that have thrown to him over the years. No coincidence McLaurin's touchdown numbers went from four the previous season to 13 with Jayden Daniels as his quarterback.

"Where McLaurin gets paid amongst the elite receivers is the question. A pay raise is coming, but how much will the Commanders pay? McLaurin should get top-10 money for his position. Highly unlikely he'll be in the top-five range."

To be in the top five, McLaurin's deal would have to be at a minimum $32 million APY, which is what Philadelphia Eagles stud A.J. Brown is currently on.
But the top 10, as CBS Sports thinks? Per Spotrac.com, that starts at $28 million APY with the Miami Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle. We then have Tyreek Hill, Amon-Ra St Brown, and Brandon Aiyuk, who all earn $30 million APY.

That's where Terry will land if Washington wants to pay him accordingly.
In truth, only $5 million APY is separating Hill at No. 7 and Minnesota Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson at No. 2, so who knows how hard McLaurin's agent will be pushing.
Exactly where it lands is going to be a fascinating watch, as the Commanders need to secure their best offensive weapon to a long-term deal.
Yeah, it'll be expensive, but how high is the franchise willing to go?

Cleveland Browns General Manager Is Getting Destroyed After Latest Player Arrest

Cleveland Browns General Manager Is Getting Destroyed After Latest Player Arrest originally appeared on The Spun. The last few offseasons haven't been the easiest for Browns fans to stomach and this one didn't get any easier with Saturday's news. Advertisement After selecting Ohio State's Quinshon Judkins with the 36th overall pick in the second round, the rookie running back was arrested on serious domestic violence charges that allege he touched/struck and battered a victim. A Browns spokesperson has said the franchise is aware of the situation and is "gathering information." But its GM Andrew Berry that's found himself directly in the crosshairs of the Cleveland faithful online. "The Deshaun Watson failure should have been the end of Andrew Berry's tenure here," a user said. "Second consecutive offseason one of Andrew Berry's draft picks is arrested and charged following an alleged domestic violence incident," Daryl Ruiter shared. "Also should note, Judkins has yet to sign his rookie contract." Advertisement "questions should be asked about these Andrew Berry background checks," a fan commented. "also 2nd time this has happened with someone with a 'clean' record out of Columbus, we should also ask about Ryan Day too, this pattern is smaller scale but similar to his mentor." "Andrew Berry has had more draft picks get arrested than the Browns will have wins this year," another person posted. "Andrew berry legitimately might be the worst gm of all time. His track record is crazy," another fan pointed out. "Absolutely sick & tired of Andrew Berry drafting guys who are abusers," a member of the Dawg Pound replied. "His resume now includes Deshaun Watson, Mike Hall & Quinshon. Like, at some point, it has to matter dude. I'm so tired of it. I get you don't always know- but it's a recurring theme."
