Commanders GM Adam Peters reportedly a tough negotiator
'I think people are going to find out a lot about Adam Peters right now, I don't like negotiating with him. He has a edge to him that people don't understand and they're going to see that in this negotiation''No other team wants to pay Terry McLaurin 30+ million'… Don't let Adam Peters' nice-guy demeanor fool you. The second-year Washington Commanders general manager reportedly drives a hard bargain. For the first time since Josh Harris bought the Commanders two years ago, the team is facing its first tough negotiation. And it happens to be with a player beloved by fans, coaches, and teammates: wide receiver Terry McLaurin. McLaurin wants a new deal. The problem is that he wants to be paid as one of the best receivers in the NFL, but he'll be 30 next month. The list of wide receivers 30 or older who signed a third contract doesn't help McLaurin's case. The Commanders are more focused on paying for what they think McLaurin will be in the future, rather than what he's done for Washington in the past. The numbers have been all over the place. McLaurin reportedly eyes the contract DK Metcalf signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers at an average annual value of $33 million as a starting point in negotiations. McLaurin and Metcalf were in the same 2019 receiver class, and McLaurin is the better player, but Metcalf is over two years younger. Washington has reportedly offered a much lower number. How much? No one knows for sure. Back to Peters. Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports recently had some insight into Peters from another NFL executive. 'I think people are going to find out a lot about Adam Peters right now, because I do not like negotiating with him," Robinson said another NFL executive told him about Peters on Inside Coverage. "He has an edge to him that people don't understand, and they're going to see that now in this negotiation." When this quote made its way across social media on Thursday, some fans became unnecessarily defensive of McLaurin. That's not the message Robinson was trying to convey. Essentially, what Robinson was saying is that Peters is not going to give in. He will not budge. The Commanders have a number for McLaurin, and while they are willing to raise that price to get a deal done, it will not be close to what many believe McLaurin initially asked for. Isn't this what every Washington fan dreamed of after years of Dan Snyder? While the Commanders should make a special case for McLaurin, they must be careful. Robinson stated that no other team wanted to pay McLaurin $30 million or more per season. So, McLaurin will need to adjust his asking price in order to get a deal done. The clock is ticking. As for Peters, it's good to have an adult in charge. It's also good that the Commanders support Peters and his decision-making.
