Terry McLaurin

The Commanders traded for Deebo Samuel, but they want to make sure they keep Terry McLaurin long term.

Washington Commanders GM Adam Peters has high expectations for new additions Deebo Samuel, Laremy Tunsil and Javon Kinlaw.

McLaurin turned in one of the best years of his career in his first season with Jayden Daniels at the helm. The veteran receiver caught 82 passes for 1,096 yards and a career-high 13 touchdowns after never surpassing more than seven scores in his previous five seasons. McLaurin has one year left on the three-year extension he signed in 2022 and will turn 30 shortly after the start of next season. He has plenty left in the tank and is again expected to serve as the Commanders' WR1 despite the team acquiring Deebo Samuel this offseason. He'll make for a high-upside WR2 for those taking shots on him in fantasy drafts next season.

Terry McLaurin enjoyed a productive season during Jayden Daniels‘ rookie campaign, and he faces high expectations heading into 2025. That represents McLaurin’s walk year at this point, but a new Commanders deal could be in place this offseason.

Gallup retired last offseason before the start of training camp. He had signed a one-year contract with the Raiders just months before that. He will now join the Commanders in hopes of securing a spot on the 53-man roster this upcoming season. The former third-round pick totaled 158 receptions for 2,457 yards and 13 touchdowns during his first three years in the league but hasn't been the same since a torn ACL ended his 2021 campaign. In his final two seasons, Gallup posted a meager 73-842-6 line across 31 games. He reunites with Dan Quinn, who he spent three seasons with during their stint with the Cowboys, and joins a thin receiver room behind Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel. He's not a lock to make the roster but could provide good depth as a WR3/WR4 if he can regain some of his old form.
