According to NFL Insider Jordan Schultz, the All-Pro receiver Terry McLaurin has "made it clear" to the Commanders' front office that he is frustrated with his current contract situation.

In a recent article by SI, he ranks every NFL team's top offensive trio. He goes by the quarterback, the running back, and the team's best receiver, whether that be a wideout or a tight end. The Commanders might feel a bit disrespected, as thet have their “triplets” outside of the top 10 at No. 12.

In this case, the Commanders would acquire the veteran defensive end Trey Hendrickson. In exchange, the Cincinnati Bengals would land the defensive tackle Jer'Zhan Newton, a 2026 third-round pick, and a 2027 seventh-round pick.
