If the sticky situation between the Washington Commanders and star wide receiver Terry McLaurin gets to the point where the two sides part ways, most Las Vegas Raiders fans hope the team doesn’t get involved.
Recently, Fox Sports floated the Raiders as a perfect landing spot for McLaurin if the Commanders to, indeed, get to the point of trading him. We asked our community members if they would want the Raiders to make a deal for McLaurin?
In a poll with nearly 700 votes cast, 70 percent of our voters
were not feeling a McLaurin trade, while 30 percent would love to see the Raiders make the deal.
The Raiders have the salary-cap flexibility where they can acquire McLaurin and give him a brand new deal and still have room to to extend the contract of current No. 1 wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (he’s entering the final year of his contract) and keep him as the No. 2 receiver to McLaurin if they choose.
But I get the why many fans don’t want the Raiders to make that deal. McLaurin would probably cost the Raiders, at least, their 2026 first-round pick in a trade and it could push back the development of rookie receivers Jack Bech and Dont’a Thornton, who the team are both high on.
