Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin said he's "been pretty frustrated" with offseason contract negotiations while speaking to reporters on Tuesday (July 15).
"I've been pretty frustrated, not gonna lie. Everything that has transpired up until this point has been disappointing and frustrating. I want to continue my career here, I've created my life here, my wife and I have bought our first home here so this is somewhere I've always wanted to be," McLaurin said via NBC 4 Sports' JP Finlay.
McLaurin, 29, who signed an extension in 2022, is entering the final year of his contract and already sat out of the Commanders' mandatory minicamp, but said he hasn't made a decision on whether to holdout of traning camp next week.
"Honestly, I haven't decided that yet, I'm trying to take things day by day," McLaurin said. "I think that's the disappointing part where I was hoping up until this point things would clear up a lot more than they have and so I haven't made that decision yet and I'm just going to see how the rest of this week goes and take it day by day and go from there."
McLaurin was a Second-team All-Pro for the first time in his career and a Pro Bowler for the second time in 2024, recording 82 receptions for 1,096 yards and a career-best 13 touchdowns, while the Commanders made the NFC Conference Championship Game for the first time in 33 years and second playoff appearance in McLaurin's first six seasons.
