Making sense of Terry McLaurin's trade request: Pay up ... or move him now? Why it's complicated

Adam Peters' honeymoon successful Washington ended connected Thursday evening. While the wide manager of the Commanders has deservedly been lauded for his enactment successful rebuilding a moribund franchise and getting it each the mode backmost to the NFC Championship Game successful his archetypal play successful charge, Thursday's trade request from prima wide receiver Terry McLaurin is the archetypal existent struggle of the Peters era.

While the Commanders person moved connected from veterans Kendall Fuller and Jonathan Allen during Peters' 2 offseasons successful charge, McLaurin mightiness beryllium the astir fashionable holdover from the pre-Jayden Daniels days. In summation to being 1 of the remaining players who endured erstwhile squad proprietor Daniel Snyder's final years with the organization, McLaurin was consistently productive contempt playing with a drawstring of quarterbacks who either didn't cookware out oregon rapidly suffered career-altering injuries.

If there's anyone successful the gathering who deserves the payment of the uncertainty and a reward for what helium has endured to get to this point, it's McLaurin, who has been regarded arsenic a person and affirmative beingness successful the gathering since helium was drafted successful Round 3 successful 2019. And yet, aft an full offseason to negotiate, McLaurin's holdout and past "hold in" aft reporting to camp connected July 27 hasn't led to immoderate benignant of resolution, starring the two-time Pro Bowler to petition a trade.

I'll commencement with what's obvious: The Commanders' discourtesy looks precise antithetic without its apical wideout. I had them 13th successful my playmaker rankings earlier this offseason, but that was with McLaurin arsenic their astir invaluable option. Daniels posted a Total QBR of 73.8 with him connected the tract past season, but that fell to 63.0 crossed 90 dropbacks without him.

Taking McLaurin retired of the lineup pushes Deebo Samuel into the apical wideout role, and portion Samuel tin beryllium overwhelming astatine his best, helium has struggled with inconsistent play, drops and injuries during his career. Noah Brown and Michael Gallup, who was out of the league successful 2024, would beryllium competing for much enactment connected the outside. Young draftees specified arsenic Luke McCaffrey and rookie Jaylin Lane would spell from being extent players to imaginable starters. The full wide receiver rotation would beryllium stretched astir 1 spot excessively acold successful the lineup, which makes sense; the Commanders built this squad expecting McLaurin to beryllium the No. 1.

Most Commanders fans privation this to beryllium resolved arsenic rapidly arsenic imaginable with a caller woody for McLaurin. But different teams crossed the league mightiness privation to get a changeable astatine landing 1 of the league's champion wideouts. How volition each of this play out? Why is determination specified an impasse? What tin the Commanders bash to span that gap? And if they bash determine that there's nary solution, what would a commercialized look like? Let's deed those topics and interruption down the McLaurin situation.

What's keeping the Commanders and McLaurin from agreeing to a caller deal?

Fair worth and however property impacts the thought of what NFL players are worth. Teams are paying much attraction to aging curves and however risky it tin beryllium to marque large investments successful players arsenic they attack and walk property 30. When determination has been a disconnect betwixt a player's worth and the moves teams person made successful caller years, it has astir ever been with well-known veterans who are ending their 2nd contracts and looking for 3rd deals oregon important caller guarantees arsenic they adjacent 30 years old.

That's wherever we are with McLaurin, who turns 30 successful September. He is heading into the last twelvemonth of his 2nd declaration with the Commanders, a three-year extension that was designed to get him to a 3rd declaration earlier turning 30. With astir of the bonus wealth for that declaration paid retired successful erstwhile years, helium is to marque $19.9 cardinal successful 2025, $2.8 cardinal of which was already paid successful March.

Meanwhile, the Commanders person made trades this offseason to adhd Samuel and Laremy Tunsil to their offense. While the rival successful McLaurin indispensable surely beryllium excited astir having talented veterans joining the organization, Peters committed $17.5 cardinal to Samuel and $21.4 cardinal to Tunsil arsenic portion of those deals. Tunsil is besides apt to gain an hold aft the Peters sent important draught superior to the Texans to get the franchise near tackle, 1 that could travel earlier the Commanders code the McLaurin situation.

It's nary astonishment to the Commanders that McLaurin wants a caller contract, but NFL negotiations often enactment disconnected comparables, and uncovering communal crushed connected those comps has made this a hard conversation. Many of the large deals that person happened implicit the past 12 months at wide receiver person been for players astatine the extremity of their rookie contracts, with Ja'Marr Chase topping the marketplace astatine conscionable implicit $40 cardinal per year. Justin Jefferson is astatine $35 cardinal annually. Garrett Wilson, who signed his woody past month, is astatine $32.5 cardinal per year, conscionable up of CeeDee Lamb. All of those guys are younger than McLaurin.

There person been borderline rushers astatine this constituent successful their careers who lucifer and apical what younger players are getting, with the Myles Garrett and T.J. Watt contracts arsenic examples, but that usually hasn't extended to seasoned wide receivers. The exceptions were the 2022 trades for Davante Adams and Tyreek Hill, which reset the market astatine receiver. Those were players who had much important pedigrees, though -- Adams was coming disconnected 3 consecutive first-team All-Pro nods, and Hill had 3 successful six seasons with the Chiefs (one coming connected peculiar teams).

McLaurin mightiness rightfully assertion that those guys were playing with overmuch amended quarterbacks than helium was earlier Daniels arrived, but helium has yet to beryllium a first-team All-Pro oregon pb the league successful immoderate large receiving category. He was a second-team All-Pro for the archetypal clip past season. His calling paper has been singular consistency, arsenic helium has racked up 5 consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. He has ne'er topped 1,200 yards, however.

Instead, the comps the Commanders are looking astatine with respect to receivers astir McLaurin's property aren't anyplace adjacent arsenic lucrative. Mike Evans, who owns a overmuch longer streak of 1,000-yard campaigns, deed escaped bureau successful beforehand of his age-31 play successful 2024 and landed lone a two-year deal worthy $41 million. Adjusting for the emergence successful the wage cap, that would beryllium the equivalent of $22.4 cardinal per twelvemonth successful 2025 money.

Calvin Ridley, who was 1 twelvemonth younger than Evans erstwhile helium deed escaped bureau successful 2024, signed with the Titans for 4 years and $92 million, averaging $23 cardinal per season. Throwing retired the unguaranteed portions, his declaration is much realistically a two-year, $48 cardinal pact, which would beryllium worthy $26.2 cardinal per twelvemonth successful the existent headdress landscape. Players past their 3rd contracts -- similar Adams ($22 cardinal per season), Stefon Diggs ($21.2 million), and Cooper Kupp ($15 million) -- each failed to onshore much than Ridley successful mean wage this offseason, adjacent with the headdress increase. All 3 are 31 oregon older.

McLaurin's lawsuit besides took a deed this week erstwhile Broncos wideout Courtland Sutton, who turns 30 successful October, signed an hold successful a akin terms range. Sutton's woody was a four-year, $92 cardinal pact, averaging $23 million. The afloat details aren't available, but it doesn't look to connection overmuch successful the mode of important semipermanent guarantees; according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Sutton was guaranteed the $14 cardinal helium was already acceptable to person successful 2025 and got $27 cardinal much successful guarantees connected the extension, suggesting helium is truly looking astatine a two-year, $41 cardinal pact. In different words, that's fundamentally what Evans received past year.

Evans' inability to onshore much wealth chilled the seasoned wideout market. If helium was capable to onshore lone $20.5 cardinal per year, what are the chances that Sutton, a little productive subordinate with a much important wounded history, would bash amended successful 2026? And what are the chances McLaurin would beryllium successful presumption to onshore a woody much successful enactment with what helium wants?

Teams usage this arsenic a mode to get veterans to some motion extensions and instrumentality wage cuts. When the Commanders didn't deliberation 30-year-old plaything tackle Andrew Wylie was worthy the $7.8 cardinal helium was acceptable to marque successful 2025, the enactment gave him a prime to instrumentality a wage chopped to $3.5 cardinal oregon look the unfastened market. Wylie chose the information and stableness of staying successful Washington and took the wage cut.

McLaurin's commercialized petition highlights Thursday's NFL recap

Dive into the apical storylines from crossed the NFL connected Thursday.

The lone caller declaration that looms arsenic a comp that mightiness extremity up being meaningful for some sides belongs to the past prima wide receiver who really did get traded. The Steelers traded for DK Metcalf astatine the extremity of his 2nd declaration with the Seahawks, past gave him a four-year, $132 cardinal extension, a woody worthy $33 cardinal per year. His declaration guarantees him $60 cardinal implicit the adjacent 2 seasons earlier the Steelers person a bid of unguaranteed years successful 2027 and beyond.

McLaurin, who entered the league successful the aforesaid draught arsenic Metcalf, has each close to suggest helium deserves the aforesaid benignant of deal. Over their respective six-year spans successful the league, Metcalf has 438 catches for 6,324 yards and 48 touchdowns. McLaurin has 460 catches for 6,379 yards and 38 touchdowns. Metcalf has averaged 2.02 yards per way run. McLaurin has averaged 2.01. And portion Metcalf's 2020 play was the biggest idiosyncratic twelvemonth produced by either of these players, McLaurin has been much consistent.

The 2 large differences person thing to bash with their on-field production. One is age: Metcalf is much than 2 years younger than McLaurin, having entered the league arsenic a 21-year-old. The different is leverage. When the Steelers decided to commercialized a second-round prime for Metcalf, helium had the leverage to inquire for a important hold arsenic portion of that deal, since Pittsburgh wouldn't person been inclined to commercialized a important prime for specified a talented subordinate and past suffer him for thing the pursuing twelvemonth successful escaped agency.

McLaurin doesn't person that benignant of leverage with the Commanders, which is wherefore helium was apt near with nary different solution but to ask for a trade. If the Commanders aren't going to wage him a woody successful enactment with what Metcalf is getting and alternatively privation to wage him thing person to Evans and Sutton, the lone mode helium is going to stitchery that leverage is to beryllium traded and person different squad terms successful a much important deal.

How tin the Commanders resoluteness this without a trade?

If determination were a elemental solution, some sides would person recovered it by now. It's usually not hard for teams and players to flooded a tiny spread successful negotiations, but determination could beryllium a quality of $10 cardinal per twelvemonth betwixt Metcalf's declaration and the extensions signed by Sutton and Evans. McLaurin sitting retired and yet missing regular-season games with what has been listed arsenic an ankle wounded wouldn't bash either broadside immoderate favors, but Commanders fans cognize however things tin spell erstwhile a subordinate decides helium wants out, with Trent Williams' absent 2019 season and eventual commercialized for third- and fifth-round picks arsenic a achy memory.

If the Commanders are going to get this done without resorting to a trade, determination are lone a fewer ways it tin play out. What bash those look like?

1. The Commanders blink and springiness McLaurin what helium wants. While we don't cognize the specifics of what helium would accept, giving him the four-year, $132 cardinal hold Metcalf signed with the Steelers would apt beryllium capable to get a woody done. Metcalf had $18 cardinal remaining connected his pact with the Seahawks, truthful helium got $42 cardinal successful caller guarantees betwixt 2025 and 2026. The Commanders astir apt would person to bash the same. While I'm definite McLaurin and his campy would similar immoderate guarantees into Year 3 of a imaginable extension, I'm not definite that's realistic.

It mightiness look similar McLaurin volition conscionable beryllium this subordinate everlastingly successful the aforesaid mode that Evans has been, but it's lone realistic for the Commanders to beryllium acrophobic astir what happens next. Adams was an All-Pro successful his archetypal play with the Raiders and past saw his numbers decline. Julio Jones led the league successful receiving yards astatine 29 and signed a three-year, $66 cardinal extension successful 2019. By the clip that hold started, the Falcons had dealt Jones to the Titans for a second-round pick; aft a 1,394-yard play astatine age-30, helium racked up conscionable 1,578 yards implicit his adjacent 4 seasons combined earlier retiring. Allen Robinson had 1,250 yards with Mitch Trubisky and Nick Foles astatine backmost successful his age-27 play and conscionable 1,059 yards implicit his adjacent 4 years combined, which included a important 3rd declaration with the Rams.

I don't expect McLaurin to autumn off, but 1 of the reasons teams are hesitant to manus retired important contracts to wideouts successful this property scope is the imaginable for what tin sometimes beryllium a precise abrupt drop-off.

2. McLaurin blinks and plays retired the last twelvemonth of his deal. He would beryllium successful presumption to go an unrestricted escaped cause entering his age-31 season, which would beryllium astir the aforesaid property arsenic Evans and a twelvemonth older than Ridley erstwhile they deed escaped bureau successful 2024. Even with a productive year, the best-case script for him would apt beryllium thing similar the declaration Adams inked with the Rams a fewer months ago, which was a two-year, $44-million pact with 1 twelvemonth and $26 cardinal guaranteed. Even with a emergence successful the wage headdress coming again successful 2026, it would beryllium a astonishment if McLaurin landed much than $25 cardinal per twelvemonth successful escaped bureau entering his age-31 season.

And obviously, there's large downside if McLaurin has a disappointing season. He could get injured. Daniels could get injured, which could interaction his numbers. His 13 touchdowns successful 2024, an outlier for a subordinate who had averaged 5 receiving scores annually earlier 2024, could regress toward his vocation rates. Or helium could conscionable spot a smaller people stock with the summation of Samuel, giving the Commanders the morganatic 2nd wideout they didn't person successful the discourtesy a twelvemonth ago.

If McLaurin does excel, the Commanders mightiness person to usage the franchise tag to support him astir successful 2026. At the moment, that projects to travel successful around $28.1 million, which would inactive beryllium beneath the figures helium would apt anticipation to beryllium guaranteed successful 2026 arsenic portion of a caller deal. That fig besides matters successful negotiations, since it limits what the Commanders would person to wage if they bash determine to spell year-to-year with him.

3. They compromise connected a caller contract. The champion happening for some sides would beryllium to get a woody done. The Commanders request McLaurin and don't privation to fundamentally discarded a twelvemonth of Daniels' rookie declaration without a viable apical wideout for him. McLaurin's champion accidental of getting a meaningful warrant connected a 3rd declaration is this offseason, not next. The timepiece is ticking for some sides.

For that to happen, some sides request to springiness immoderate connected their demands. The Commanders astir apt aren't going to get McLaurin signed for what the Broncos gave Sutton, which sounds similar it's going to beryllium astir $41 cardinal implicit 2 years, though it could travel successful higher aft we get the nonstop terms. And McLaurin astir apt isn't going to get what the Steelers gave Metcalf successful presumption of existent guaranteed money, which was $60 cardinal implicit 2 years.

Splitting the quality betwixt those figures is $50.5 cardinal implicit the adjacent 2 seasons. That's conscionable abbreviated of 2 franchise tags, fixed that the 2025 tag for wideouts is conscionable nether $24 million, portion the 2026 tag projects to the $28.1 cardinal fig I mentioned. McLaurin has already made $2.8 cardinal from a March roster bonus, truthful the Commanders would beryllium connected the hook for astir $49 cardinal much betwixt 2025 and 2026. With him presently acceptable to marque a $15.5 cardinal basal wage successful 2025, they could up that to $20.5 cardinal successful 2025 compensation and adhd $28.5 cardinal successful 2026 successful what amounts to a de facto franchise tag successful advance.

Meanwhile, McLaurin could triumph the nationalist broadside of the disagreement by getting a four-year, $136 cardinal extension, topping what Metcalf got successful his woody with the Steelers connected paper. Most of that money, though, would beryllium non-guaranteed and travel aft the 2026 season. In return, they would settee for astir $52 cardinal successful guaranteed wealth implicit the adjacent 2 years, $8 cardinal abbreviated of what Metcalf landed from the Steelers. That mightiness not dependable ideal, but 2 franchise tags would beryllium a large result for McLaurin fixed that helium is guaranteed lone $15.5 cardinal close now.

4. The Commanders sweeten the deal. In the past, teams person pacified players who privation caller contracts by moving wealth from aboriginal seasons into the existent year. When Jones wanted a caller woody with 3 years near to spell connected his existing pact successful 2018, arsenic an example, the Falcons took $2 cardinal retired of his 2019 wage and gave it to their prima wideout a twelvemonth successful beforehand portion promising him they would hold to presumption connected a caller woody aft the season.

Well, McLaurin is successful the last twelvemonth of his existing contract. (While helium is technically connected the Commanders books adjacent year, that's conscionable for accounting purposes, arsenic his woody voids earlier the 2026 offseason begins, with $5.6 cardinal successful dormant wealth near connected Washington's cap.) The Commanders would person to restructure his existing woody to adhd much money, but if they wanted to bash so, they could add, say, $3 cardinal to that $15.5 cardinal basal salary, warrant that full magnitude for 2025, and past array the treatment astir what happens successful 2026 until aft the season.

Between the 4 scenarios I laid out, this is the astir apt one. If determination truly is simply a important disagreement betwixt the 2 sides connected a declaration extension, the easiest mode for McLaurin to prevention look and the enactment to look similar it is rewarding 1 of its longest-tenured players and a instrumentality favourite is to propulsion a small other wealth his way. If this happens, the enactment volition accidental that it is guaranteeing him $18.5 million, adjacent though helium was already going to person $15.5 cardinal of that fig guaranteed erstwhile helium was connected the roster for Week 1, which means it's truly conscionable $3 cardinal successful caller money.

If the 2 sides conscionable can't find immoderate benignant of communal crushed and McLaurin digs successful further, let's speech astir the script Commanders fans don't privation to spot ...

What tin the Commanders get if they commercialized McLaurin?

Realistically, I don't deliberation there's a beardown accidental McLaurin gets traded. There's been nary proposition from the Commanders' broadside that they're looking to woody him, adjacent aft his request. Trading him present would apt effect successful landing 2026 draught picks, which won't assistance the Commanders successful a play successful which they're hoping to compete. And determination conscionable aren't galore teams with the headdress abstraction oregon currency fund astatine this constituent of the offseason to springiness him the benignant of woody helium appears to want.

When I enactment unneurotic my caller trade tiers piece, I didn't person McLaurin landing a first-round prime successful a imaginable deal. Commanders fans mightiness consciousness similar thing abbreviated of that would beryllium a large disappointment, but the world is we conscionable don't spot players without aggregate All-Pro appearances and/or a viable lawsuit arsenic the champion subordinate astatine their presumption dealt for first-round picks arsenic they attack 30, with quarterbacks arsenic the lone exception.

Timed conscionable earlier the season, and with the acquiring squad either renting McLaurin connected a one-year woody oregon giving him a important extension, the Commanders would apt beryllium looking astatine a third-round prime and a imaginable Day 3 enactment if they really did commercialized him. The Browns got a third-round prime and a swap of precocious selections from the Bills for a 30-year-old Amari Cooper arsenic a rental past October, and that was during the season, erstwhile teams get a small much desperate. I wouldn't beryllium stunned if Washington were capable to onshore a second-round pick, but a first-rounder would beryllium genuinely shocking.

And of course, if the instrumentality is going to beryllium a lone third-round prime and a small more, the Commanders aren't truly incentivized to woody McLaurin. Even if they don't privation to bash immoderate benignant of semipermanent declaration with him, they're astir apt amended disconnected having him connected the roster for 1 much play portion hoping to onshore a compensatory prime for him successful escaped bureau adjacent offseason. Stranger things person happened, though. And if things bash spell southbound for the Commanders aboriginal successful the offseason, I could spot a script successful which helium becomes disposable astatine the commercialized deadline, arsenic Cooper was a twelvemonth ago.

Which teams would realistically see trading for McLaurin?

When I went astir the league, I was amazed astatine however galore teams weren't large fits for McLaurin. Teams with 1 costly wideout astir apt can't warrant spending this overmuch wealth connected another. Many offenses are locked into 2 starting wide receivers arsenic the play approaches. Some teams conscionable don't person a concern that would truly payment from adding a 29-year-old wide receiver, adjacent 1 arsenic talented arsenic McLaurin. Others don't typically marque moves for players astatine this constituent of their careers.

It's casual to plug McLaurin successful arsenic a acceptable for tons of teams, but it's besides casual to poke holes successful those plans. The Chiefs are committed to Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy arsenic their 2 apical receivers. The Packers don't privation to commercialized distant draught picks oregon people players arsenic they attack 30. The Jets are shifting toward a run-heavy onslaught with Justin Fields astatine quarterback. The Texans are paying Christian Kirk and Nico Collins and conscionable utilized 2 Day 2 picks connected wide receivers.

There are 3 teams that marque sense:

The Indianapolis Colts don't typically marque large investments successful players from extracurricular the organization, but they did trade a first-round pick for antiaircraft tackle DeForest Buckner successful 2020. General manager Chris Ballard places a large accent connected squad civilization and players being the close acceptable for their building, a barroom McLaurin should beryllium capable to meet. And with Anthony Richardson entering his 3rd season, the Colts request to bash everything successful their powerfulness to springiness their embattled backmost the champion accidental of processing into a coagulated passer implicit the adjacent six months.

The Colts already person 3 starting wideouts successful Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs and Alec Pierce, but that mightiness beryllium appealing to the Commanders arsenic portion of a imaginable trade. Pierce isn't arsenic implicit of a receiver arsenic McLaurin, but we've seen teams wage premiums for velocity with Dyami Brown and Tutu Atwell this offseason, and helium could beryllium portion of the rotation that replaces McLaurin. It's unlikely, but with the Colts going dense into escaped bureau for defenders Charvarius Ward and Cam Bynum this offseason, they are intelligibly comfy being much assertive importing endowment than successful erstwhile years.

Another squad trying to prop up its third-year backmost is the Carolina Panthers, and portion they utilized their first-round prime connected wideout Tetairoa McMillan this spring, helium is the lone receiver guaranteed a spot successful the starting lineup connected a play basis. First-round prime Xavier Legette failed to impressment arsenic a rookie past season, David Moore is simply a situational player, and Jalen Coker has reportedly been outshone by Hunter Renfrow successful campy retired of the slot.

Could the Panthers warrant trading for McLaurin? It would let them to determination McMillan each astir the tract alternatively of simply locking him arsenic the "X" receiver successful the offense, portion giving Bryce Young 1 of the much breathtaking one-two punches astatine wideout successful the league. And portion seasoned Adam Thielen evidently wouldn't beryllium the focal constituent of the return, helium fits close successful alongside Zach Ertz and Bobby Wagner arsenic Washington's veterans who inactive person thing to connection and mightiness transcend expectations successful the close role. Again, it seems much apt the Panthers volition conscionable instrumentality with McMillan arsenic their apical extracurricular receiver and benignant done their interior options astatine this constituent of the offseason.

The competitory squad that seems similar the astir plausible acceptable is the Buffalo Bills. General manager Brandon Beane has repeatedly traded for wideouts to assistance Josh Allen, including the first-round pick helium dealt for Stefon Diggs successful 2020 and the third-rounder helium sent to the Browns arsenic the superior portion to get Cooper for the remainder of past season. The Bills mightiness person considered an hold for Cooper if helium had impressed, but helium deed escaped bureau and remains there.

McLaurin would measurement successful arsenic a morganatic apical wideout successful an discourtesy that leans heavy toward the pass. The Bills person assembled a assortment of options for Allen, and they understandably aren't acceptable to springiness up connected Dalton Kincaid and Keon Coleman, but there's a crushed they traded for Cooper past fall. There's cipher connected this roster Allen tin look toward successful cardinal spots arsenic idiosyncratic who is reliably going to get open. And arsenic we saw successful that fateful 4th down successful the playoff nonaccomplishment to the Chiefs, there's cipher successful this receiving corps whom Kansas City antiaircraft coordinator Steve Spagnuolo was frightened astir covering, which allowed the blitz whisperer to nonstop apical cornerback Trent McDuffie aft Allen connected what ended up creating a season-ending unit for Buffalo.

And yet, adjacent for the Bills, this would beryllium a pugnacious fit. Khalil Shakir is simply a bully slot receiver, and Beane signed Joshua Palmer to play meaningful snaps arsenic a de facto replacement for Mack Hollins. McLaurin would apt instrumentality opportunities distant from Coleman, a determination the Bills are improbable to marque aft conscionable 1 play with their 2024 second-round pick. Buffalo is slightly implicit the 2025 wage cap, truthful it's already successful a choky fiscal squeeze, adjacent without having addressed a new deal for moving backmost James Cook. And having fundamentally burned a third-round prime connected Cooper a twelvemonth ago, I'm not definite Beane wants to instrumentality that plunge again for what mightiness beryllium different one-year rental.

The logical happening is for McLaurin to enactment with the Commanders, for the 2 sides to travel to presumption connected a caller woody oregon immoderate benignant of raise, and for Daniels to person his champion walk catcher connected the tract successful Week 1. It's inactive the astir apt scenario. After a holdout, hold-in and present a commercialized request, though, it's wide there's a existent disconnect betwixt the Commanders and 1 of their astir important and beloved players. Now it's connected Peters to find a solution that keeps some his apical wide receiver and his instrumentality basal happy.
