"The fact that he's a rookie and you can literally make technique teach tape from his game tape, it's impressive]. His press, his off [coverage] — and it's week in and week out. He's not intimidated; it doesn't seem like he's intimidated by anything."

so Scary Terry skipping Washington offseason activities
Washington got no choice but to pay breh right?

A third-round pick in 2019, McLaurin is entering the final year of his rookie deal and is set to earn a modest $2.8 million in 2022. The 26-year-old has managed to produce back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons despite having a handful of different mediocre-at-best quarterbacks throwing him the football. His production speaks for himself -- McLaurin is due for a massive pay raise.

You'd think these teams would get out in front of these situations and pay guys early before a Christian Kirk contract happens.

i think most teams just kick the can down the road and put it off until they really have to extend a player.
these teams trying to get the maximum out a player for lowest cost
unfortunately for these squads now, the asking price has gone up

Yep, exactly that.

Their front office likely believes that the Christian Kirk deal is an anomaly that fukked up the market this offseason, and things will correct themselves by the time they absolutely have to pay him.

There's also the very real possibility that they're banking on Mclaurin having a mediocre enough season this year to lower his value.

He's making 2.8 and clearly is worth extending so it's in your best interest to do so as early as possible. These teams wait until the price of brick goes up and then you either over pay or trade them.

If I'm his agent I ask for a trade if they don't extend him. They can draft his replacement at #11.

Should have just paid him and drafted a QB instead of taking on Wentz's 28 million salary.

I agree that he's clearly outperformed his rookie deal, but I guess it comes down to what exactly he's asking for. If he's asking for top tier receiver money, he's not really putting up the type of numbers that get him that type of money right now.

But even if he is asking for top tier money, it seems clear that they're waiting it out to see if either the definition of top tier money changes, or he solidifies that he's not in that tier.

The real problem is that getting a trade done for him right now is probably a lot easier said than done. If you're in the market for a WR, why blow draft capital on a guy that likely isn't seen as a definitive top guy that you need to give a new deal to, when you could use that same draft capital to trade up if you have to, and get a receiver in the draft that you have under a team friendly deal for four years?
