Washington Commanders All-Pro wide receiver Terry McLaurin is nearing the end of his contract and looking for a big payday.
There hasn’t been much movement in contract talks between the two sides, which has left some fans wondering if the Commanders would consider trading the star veteran. A team like the New England Patriots, in particular, might show interest in an elite receiving talent like McLaurin.

But how much would it cost?
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport broke down what the 29-year-old wideout could be eyeing in a possible long-term contract extension.
“Just because Terry McLaurin does not have a new contract yet doesn’t mean he is not going to get a new contract,” said Rapoport. “You mentioned some of the numbers. My understanding is that he wants to be in the 30s, and judging by his stats, 30s make sense.”
McLaurin had another outstanding season in 2024, racking up 82 catches for 1,096 yards and 13 touchdowns. He proved to be a vital target for rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, who won NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.

It would be a hefty price to pay for McLaurin, and that doesn’t even include the draft pick it would likely take to trade for him. With that said, the Patriots spent all offseason trying to upgrade their wide receivers room, and players as talented as McLaurin don’t come free often.
If the opportunity is there, they should consider picking up the phone.
