Open Extended ReactionsASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Commanders coach Dan Quinn says wide receiver Terry McLaurin's trade request is not a distraction, calling it a normal part of business in the NFL.
McLaurin requested a trade Thursday after talks on a contract extension continued to provide no momentum toward a deal.
For Terry, the trade request, that's part of normal business that's happening around the NFL.
Washington has been reluctant to pay a wide receiver top-of-the-market money when he will be 31 as the extension begins.
McLaurin's counter is Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf, who signed a deal worth $32.5 million per year this offseason.
