Metcalf signed a five-year, $150 million deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers this spring after acquiring him in a trade with the Seattle Seahawks, making him one of the NFL's highest-paid receivers. McLaurin comes off a career-best 13 touchdowns last fall as Washington's leading playmaker on offense.

A Monday report indicated that people within the Washington Commanders are confident the club and wide receiver Terry McLaurin will agree on a "compromise" contract extension after the 29-year-old, in the final year of his current deal, requested a trade on July 31.

The wait goes on for Washington Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin and his new contract extension to be finalized. Yes, he's been engaged in the classroom and in team walkthroughs, but there is only so much you can get out of the mental part of being there.
