Washington’s front office dawdles, precipitates unforced errors with Terry McLaurin

A month before the 2022 draft, seeing the wide receiver market going absolutely bonkers, I suggested that the Commanders should shop Terry McLaurin around for a potential trade. Though the notion had very little popular appeal - only 13 of poll respondents supported trading him under any condition - it sparked some interesting conversation.

Part of the rationale for suggesting they look at trade opportunities was to give the team some flexibility in potential salary negotiations with Terry. It wasn’t public at the time, but it turns out that’s exactly what the Tennessee Titans were doing with AJ Brown around the same moment.
