“I’m really happy that he is there,” said Quinn before training. “I love coaching it, but the commercial side is a bit where they are. Someone asked me, is it a distraction? It is not the case.”

McLaurin has another year on the extension of contract of $ 68 million over three years which he signed in June 2022. He was looking for an agreement that would make him among the highest paid receivers of the NFL.

Last season, McLaurin made one of the best seasons in his career. McLaurin transported 82 catches for 1,096 yards and experienced 13 career affected. In the playoffs, he continued to produce, catching 14 passes for 227 yards and three affected in three eliminatory games.

Quinn said that McLaurin’s commercial demand was one of the “normal affairs” in the NFL.

“Players of today, they are more aware of the contracts and things that before. They recognize that the commercial part also occurs. So for the team, we are sworn and go and launch great practices. For Terry and the requests for commerce, guy, which is part of the normal business that takes place around the NFL,” said Quinn.

“We love Terry. I’m really happy that he is there, and I hope he will train soon. And we also understand that there is the commercial side of these things (Managing Director) Adam (Peters) and his side and his representatives work.”

Without McLaurin, the wide receiver Deebo Samuel and the tight winger Zach Ertz are the best pass options for the quarter Jayden Daniels, the offensive recruit of the last year.

McLaurin was the large n ° 1 receiver for commanders throughout his six -year career and has made the pro Bowl twice.
