Terry McLaurin Requests Trade, Holds Out of Practice

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin has requested a trade after stalled contract negotiations and is currently holding out from practices. McLaurin, known for his consistent 1,000-yard seasons, is seeking a lucrative extension, but the Commanders have not met his demands. The Las Vegas Raiders, Tennessee Titans, and New England Patriots have emerged as potential trade destinations, though the Ravens are unlikely to pursue him due to salary cap constraints and investments in younger receivers. Betting odds favor McLaurin remaining with Washington, but the Patriots and Raiders are considered top alternatives. There is precedent for players using trade requests to leverage better contracts, so it's uncertain if the move will actually happen. The Commanders' response to McLaurin's demand is still awaited.
