Will he get paid?
Terry McLaurin wants to get paid.
But with the Washington Commanders set to take part in their first training camp practice on Wednesday, the star wide receiver hasn't gotten a new contract yet.
We do have a better idea of what McLaurin is seeking, though.
The Athletic's veteran reporter David Aldridge shared this nugget in a new article Tuesday evening:
"(A deal) would mean, having asked a person or two in the know, paying McLaurin a few dollars more than DK Metcalf, the now-Pittsburgh Steelers receiver who got a four-year extension for nearly $132 million this spring after being acquired from the Seattle Seahawks."

Metcalf and McLaurin were part of the same draft class, with Metcalf going a dozen picks before McLaurin out of Ole Miss and Ohio State, respectively.
The official salary on Metcalf's four-year deal over four years: $131,999,529. It's an average of $32,999,882 per year.
Metcalf is the fourth-highest paid WR in football, behind Ja'Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson and CeeDee Lamb, and just ahead of the newly extended Garrett Wilson (five years, $130 million).
McLaurin is well within his reasoning to pursue a deal in that dollar range.
But it doesn't look like the Commanders are ready to budge quite yet.
