Commanders rumors: Why everybody is still ‘feeling good' about Terry McLaurin situation
The post Commanders rumors: Why everybody is still 'feeling good' about Terry McLaurin situation appeared first on ClutchPoints. All eyes are on the Washington Commanders right now after Terry McLaurin requested a trade amid his contract dispute with the franchise. However, despite the concerns, rumors suggest that the organization is feeling positive about McLaurin's situation. There is some speculation that the Commanders, along with McLaurin's representation, feel optimistic that a deal will eventually come to fruition, said JP Finlay of NBC Sports in a discussion he had with The Athletic's Dianna Russini. From the sounds of it, both sides appear to want to reach a deal. 'Everyone feels good that this is going to get done, it's just when and how do they land there…Yes, he asked for a trade, but does anybody really think he wants to go somewhere else? No.' Rumors suggest that Terry McLaurin is seeking a contract similar to the one DK Metcalf got from the Pittsburgh Steelers. Metcalf signed a four-year, $132 million extension with $60 million guaranteed after being traded to Pittsburgh. So, we'll see if that's something the Commanders give McLaurin. The 29-year-old wide receiver experienced another fantastic season in the 2024-25 campaign with Jayden Daniels stepping in at quarterback. He was able to reach the 1,000-yard mark for the fifth time in his career while also recording a career high in touchdowns. Terry McLaurin ended last season with 82 receptions, 1,096 receiving yards, and 13 touchdown grabs. Assuming he returns to Washington next season, we should expect those kinds of numbers from McLaurin once again. Even with Deebo Samuel likely receiving his fair share of targets as well. Overall, the Commanders are in a position to make some noise next season, as the front office managed to improve the roster around its young quarterback. It's still early in August, but getting Terry McLaurin signed to a new contract is likely one of the top priorities right now for the club. Ideally, they'll have him signed soon; if not, then a potential trade could happen. The Commanders are set to take on the New York Giants in Week 1 in the season opener, with or without McLaurin.

The Washington Post announced its partnership today with Monumental Sports Network (MNMT) for The Washington Post All-Met Honors, an hour-long program honoring this winter's standout high school athletes in the national capital region. The program airs Sunday, April 6 at 4:00 p.m. ET, recognizing The Post's Winter 2024-25 All-Met Players of the Year and First-Team honorees. The Washington Post All-Met Honors will be co-hosted by MNMT's JP Finlay and Wes Hall, who will be joined by special guests and former All-Met selections Christy Winters Scott and Chris Wright. The special will reveal the Players of the Year and first team members for nine winter sports (Boys/Girls Basketball; Boys/Girls Ice Hockey; Boys/Girls Swimming; Boys/Girls Indoor Track and Field; Wrestling) and feature exclusive interviews with each of the Players of the Year. The show will feature a conversation with High School Sports Editor Michael Errigo, a behind-the-scenes look at this year's All-Met Media Day with the Players of the Year, vignettes featuring All-Met legends across different sports including Torri Huske (Girls Swimming), Kyle Snyder (Wrestling), and Quincy Wilson (Boys Indoor Track and Field), and a feature on former Boys Basketball All-Mets now connected to Monumental Basketball and MNMT, including John Thompson III, David Vanterpool, Saddiq Bey, Dickie Simpkins, and Chris Wright. "We are honored to partner with an esteemed institution like The Washington Post to celebrate the remarkable talent within the DMV's high school sports scene through the All-Met Honors,' said Zach Leonsis, President of Media & New Enterprises at MSE. 'At Monumental Sports Network, we believe in the power of sports to inspire and unite our community, and this program exemplifies our commitment to using our platform to raise the profiles and uplift the voices of young athletes across our region. We're looking forward to recognizing some incredible achievements and introducing the next generation of sports leaders and champions during Sunday's program." The Post regularly recognizes the top high school athletes in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area across various sports, several who have become professional athletes and notable figures over the past decades. The special will be available for viewing in MNMT's coverage area and on the Monumental+ app. In December, MNMT announced a partnership with The Post to feature its renowned All-Met high school sports content as part of the network's high school basketball coverage, and branding as part of live game broadcasts and other MNMT programming. Throughout the winter sports season, this dynamic collaboration celebrated the legacy of past All-Met basketball players and amplified the legacy of the DMV's rich high school sports landscape.
