The Washington Commanders and wide receiver Terry McLaurin agreed to a three-year, $96 million contract extension, a league source told UPI on Monday.
McLaurin, who will receive a $30 million signing bonus, was entering the final year of the three-year, $68.3 million pact he signed in 2022. He is set to receive a base salary of $15.5 million in 2025.
The 29-year-old pass catcher made the Pro Bowl in two of the last three years. He totaled 82 catches for 1,096 yards and a career-high 13 touchdowns over 17 starts last season.
McLaurin did not miss a start over the last four seasons. He missed just three games since entering the league as a third-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.
The former Ohio State star totaled 460 catches for 6,379 yards and 38 scores over the first 97 starts of his NFL career.
McLaurin missed mandatory minicamp and the first four days of training camp. He requested a trade in July, but is now tied to the team through 2028.
The Commanders will host the New York Giants in their season opener Sept. 7 in Landover, Md. McLaurin scored two touchdowns in his last meeting with the Giants, a 27-22 win Nov. 3 in East Rutherford, N.J.
