Following his trade request, one analyst cited a key factor the Commanders have to worry about when it comes to the ongoing saga with WR Terry McLaurin.

The Washington Commanders and wide receiver Terry McLaurin remain locked in a "a classic standoff," according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

As this standoff persists, ESPN’s John Keim noted that the Commanders offense noticeably missed having McLaurin’s production on the field in their joint practice Wednesday with the New England Patriots, referencing a lack of explosiveness and no real threat on the boundary.
