Up to this point, the Washington Commanders have had all of the leverage over All-Pro WR Terry McLaurin, but things may be shifting thanks to one major issue. McLaurin has no possible way of gaining leverage from a financial standpoint,

During Thursday's edition of the ESPN "Get Up" program, NFL insider Jeremy Fowler noted that the Commanders and McLaurin are locked in "a classic standoff" as McLaurin allegedly looks to secure "parts" of the five-year, $150M deal that the Pittsburgh Steelers gave DK Metcalf this past March.

Terry McLaurin might not have the most leverage in the world in his trade request from the Washington Commanders. He's under contract for this season, which always complicates matters. His hold-in is only so effective if he's contractually obligated to suit up.
