After addressing his discontent publicly, it’s no secret that Terry McLaurin is “pretty frustrated” with the Washington Commanders as he heads into the final year of his contract. His frustrations have been mounting all offseason long, but now that he’s expected to report to training camp on July 22, it’s time to either pay the man or consider a trade.
Thus, with the Commanders continuing to draw a hard line in the sand, let’s take a fresh look at some of the best McLaurin trade destinations before the season kicks off.
Las Vegas Raiders
Now that the Las Vegas Raiders have a Pro Bowl quarterback, Geno Smith will be expected to lead a top-10 offense. Ashton Jeanty and Brock Bowers will help, but the Raiders still need more help at receiver, and McLaurin’s speed makes him a great fit in Vegas.

Arizona Cardinals
Marvin Harrison Jr has been in the lab this offseason, getting even stronger ahead of his second season. While he may be on track to become dominant, Kyler Murray still needs more options to complement MHJ and Trey McBride. McLaurin would certainly accelerate the Cardinals’ competitive timeline.

New York Jets
Expect the New York Jets to run the ball a lot more frequently this season now that Justin Fields is taking over at QB. But when they do air it out, the Jets will need more consistency from the receiver position. Coming off five consecutive 1,000-yard years, McLaurin certainly fits the bill.
Pittsburgh Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers aren’t building for next season, which means they should be all-in on maximizing Aaron Rodgers’ potential this year. The best way to do that is to supply him with an abundance of weapons. While DK Metcalf will lead the team in targets, having another field-stretcher like McLaurin could really supercharge this offense.
Miami Dolphins
Tyreek Hill has had an odd offseason. Would the Miami Dolphins entertain a Hill for McLaurin trade swap? It may make sense for both sides, since both teams would still retain a speedy receiver who may be ready for a change of scenery. While McLaurin has no intention of leaving D.C., landing in South Beach wouldn’t be so bad.
