McLaurin is in the final year of his four-year rookie deal and is looking to settle a long-term contract with the team.

In his first three seasons, McLaurin has 222 receptions, 3,090 receiving yards, and 16 touchdowns making him Washington's primary source of offense.

Several NFL wide receivers landed 20-million dollar annual deals this offseason. McLaurin, who has been making $2.79 million/year up to this point, likely feels he has more than earned a similar paycheck.

However, whether he lands the deal or not, McLaurin's absence from the camp has nonetheless earned him a hefty fine.

As reported yesterday, unless something changes with his contract situation, Terry McLaurin does not plan to be at mandatory minicamp this week. He faces a max fine of $95,877 if he misses all 3 days (up to the team if it wants to fine him at all).https://t.co/88Bzra7Pel
