The Cleveland Browns are in dire need of a receiving corps boost, and the latest news from Washington Commanders star Terry McLaurin is reviving a blockbuster trade possibility. McLaurin, who has consistently delivered with five consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, may become available if he can’t agree on a new contract extension.
A McLaurin-Jerry Jeudy duo would be an enticing combination for the Browns, making it easier to transition to rookie quarterback. However, there are caveats: McLaurin is entering his final year of contract, and his age (30) raises concerns about long-term commitment. Additionally, Cleveland’s current financial situation may not justify the $30 million annual salary for an aging receiver during a quasi-rebuild phase.
Despite these concerns, McLaurin’s on-field talent is undeniable, making him an attractive option for the Browns. If he were to sign an extension with Cleveland, it would undoubtedly spice up what appears to be a drab offense. The trade possibility remains intriguing, but only if both parties can navigate the complexities of his contract and age.
