Ashburn, Va. , Washington Commander Receiver Terry McLorinThose who expressed disappointment with a conversation for a contract expansion last week, failed to report the training camp on Tuesday, sources told ESPN.
McLorin was not present for the conditioning test of the commanders on Tuesday, who marked the informal start of the training camp.
McLaren said last week “Without any progressive discussion, it is difficult to see how I step on the field.” He also said that the parties did not talk in more than a month. Not reporting, McLarin will be fined $ 50,000 for missing each day.
But the general manager of the commanders, Adam Peters said, “We have recently held some good conversations and we will continue. We will do everything we can do to get a deal done.”
McLorin has a year left for a year and three years, $ 68 million extension that he signed in 2022. He has not publicly said what kind of contract he is looking for, but last week said that he wants to feel valuable and “How is the market today, tells what my caliber people are entitled to.”
Many notable receivers signed long -term deals, including this offsen Cincinnati Bangles, T Higins (Four years, guarantee of $ 115 million with $ 40.9 million), Pittsburg steelers, DK Metkaf (Four years, $ 132 million with a guarantee of $ 60 million) and New York Jets, Garat wilson (Guarantee of four years, $ 130 million, $ 90 million).
Washington’s top receivers have been the top receiver since entering NFL as a third round pick in McLorin 2019. He has caught 1,000 yards in each of the last five sessions and 13 Touchdown passes in the previous season-the second highest in NFL.
He is also considered a team leader – he was voted as a captain by the teammates during Postsen last year (he rotated the captains during the regular session) – and a fan favorite.
“Without a doubt, everyone in this building gives great importance to Terry,” Peters said.
McLaren turns 30 in September, an age to which teams believe that a receiver begins to fade. McLorin said last week that he had been in NFL for only seven sessions, did not play much in his first two sessions in Ohio State and what others did in the past should have been judged.
He wanted him to see it on a “case” on the case, McLorin said.
Peters stated that the key is making sure to execute a contract that is appropriate for both sides, focusing on the future what McLarin means for franchise.
Peters said, “This is always a difficult part of any conversation.” “I don’t think I have been part of a conversation where it is linear and smooth; [it’s] Understand where they are and where we are. This is long -term interactions as we want to do and how we want to make it as we want to do as we want to stay above the board and interact in good faith. ,
Peters was an assistant general manager in San Francisco when 49ers Several training camps were dealt with holdout while working on new deals including receiver Deebo Samuel Senior. In 2022 and defensive end Joy Bosa In 2023. Peters were not directly involved in those talks, but they said they understood how they came out.
“This is the nature of our business,” said Peters. “You want to get these things quickly, but it does not always happen like this. … You are working with a very good player and a really good person and you never lose vision on him and make sure that every conversation is very straight and in good faith and keep that mindset and keep that mentality … Understanding our goal is to be a deal.
“Whatever happens on the way, just understand that he is a great player and we want to keep him here.”
