The Commanders are reportedly reluctant to pay McLaurin an amount commensurate with the league's top receivers since he will be 31 when a new deal begins

McLaurin, who turns 30 in September, is entering the final season of a three-year, $68.4 million deal. On the wide receiver front, superstar Ja'Marr Chase signed a four-year, $161 million extension with the Cincinnati Bengals in March, while Garrett Wilson signed a four-year, $130 million extension with the New York Jets in July.
