Terry McLaurin Receiving Trade Interest From Notable AFC Team
As the Washington Commanders continue to navigate the situation surrounding Pro Bowl wideout Terry McLaurin, an AFC contender has formally inquired about the veteran receiver's services, according to reports.
McLaurin officially requested a trade from the team on Thursday after the two sides failed to make any progress this offseason towards a contract extension that would him one of the highest-paid at his position in the league.
McLaurin is entering the final season of a three-year deal that's set to pay him $15.5 million with just $2.8 million in guaranteed dollars. Since then, Washington's star has been "holding in" at Commanders training camp in hopes reaching a new agreement.
But five-time 1,000-yard receivers don't just hit the market every day and a team in the rival conference would reportedly like to add him to their roster.
Per DK Pittsburgh Sports, the Pittsburgh Steelers have reached out to Washington's franchise about a trade for the 29-year-old star. However, sources say they're not expected to land the former Ohio State product.
Writes Steelers beat writer Chris Halicke: "He informed the team this week that he wants to be traded, prompting Omar Khan to reach out."
"In reaching out to the Commanders, the Steelers learned that McLaurin not only wants to be paid like a true No. 1 receiver, which is expected, he wants to be a true No. 1 receiver on whatever team he plays on in 2025 and beyond. With the Steelers having DK Metcalf signed to a five-year, $150 million contract, they've committed to him as their No. 1 receiver."
Pittsburgh has been hyper-aggressive this summer compared to seasons past, but in many ways it feels like they're just trying to make up for lost time.
As exciting as it would be to see another wide receiver in the No. 17 a la Mike Wallace, it isn't sounding too realistic at the moment. Although this clearly won't be the only phone call the Steelers and others make regarding Scary Terry.Terry McLaurin Receiving Trade Interest From Notable AFC Team first appeared on The Spun on Aug 2, 2025
