Execs, coaches, scouts rank the NFL's top 10 WRs for 2025


Terry didn't make the top 10 but was the 1st honorable mention.

Terry McLaurin, Washington Commanders: Washington quarterbacks produced a 133.0 passer rating when targeting McLaurin last season. "Criminally underrated." -- NFL general manager

"Excellent route runner, very good hands and elite ball skills. Tremendous football makeup. He will really take off with that QB and offense." -- NFL personnel director

Those stats don't take into account that Jayden was a rookie quarterback and the game plans were very conservative early on. Not to mention the left tackle position was weak so Jayden had to get rid of the ball quickly much of the time. On the season Jayden was 16th in total yards passing.

Terry hasnt missed a game in years and has put up good numbers on a crap team with weak quarterbacks for years.

These are good points. If Terry was open for a two year extension then I’d be all in. Three more years at ages 30-32. Sign me up. My feeling is he wants a 3-4 year extension where you’d be paying a 33/34 y.o. receiver top of the market money for what he’s done, not what he’s doing. Thats Dan Snyder level of cap management.



That's just it, we don't know what he is asking for or what they are offering. Having a strong opinion one way or another doesn't make much sense given the lack of info.


The first 30 seconds of his press conference gave me a gut feeling about Terry McLaurin.

Like I stated earlier, sign him to a reasonable price with the long game in mind. Let him know you value him and want him to be a foundational piece of the franchise. See if he's amenable to sacrificing a wee bit.

OTOH, if Scary Terry is a mercenary for hire, let him go to the highest bidder. BRADLEY BEAL was a good comparison, DukeLecker. I would much rather lose Terry than have a bad contract moving forward.

Going back to my gut feeling, I think Terry is all about getting his "respect", his bag. Trade him when a good offer comes.

Beal is a bad comparison. Beal wasn't that good, he was injury prone, his contract relative to his value was far higher, the contract was 5 years fully guaranteed, and he had a no trade clause. Not to mention that the Wizards had no shot at being contenders even with Beal.

Yeah I’m torn over this one. Terry has actually been a consummate pro and I can’t blame him too much on feeling a little betrayed right now by the organization. He was one of the few bright spots in some really dark years and he’s such a great influence and workhorse for the team. Him and Jayden have great chemistry. With that being said, I wouldn’t give him more than a 3 year deal at this point. Terry is a leader of men. Beal is a third option on a good team and was the beneficiary of being the last man standing on a really bad Wizards team so he was able to inflate his stats a good bit when he wasn’t injured. People forget that Westbrook came over for ONE season and made the team his in about 1/3 of a season. :lol: told me all I needed to know about Beal. Wouldn’t follow that guy into any battle.

Let me ask this. How many teams is Terry #1 on if you trade him there and how many times is he even #2 on if you trade him there.

How many teams is Terry #1 on if traded there? More than a third of them:

49ers
Titans
Bills
Panthers
Browns
Broncos
Packers
Colts
Raiders
Saints
Patriots
Seahawks
Steelers (1a and 1B with Metcalf)

He's no worse than #2 on all of the rest except for the Eagles and Bengals, and MAYBE the Dolphins and Vikings.

They didn't have many picks but it was the usual buzz to me.

On top of that, Scary Terry is consistently in the top 3 in the league when it comes to contested catches.

He's a top 10 receiver according to PFF:

https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-pff-wide-receiver-rankings-top-32-2025-season

I would say that makes him the #1 on most teams in the NFL.

If you look at Amari Cooper’s stats, he and McLaurin are basically identical in receiving yards per game, catches per season, and TDs per season for their career. Cooper played with bad QBs in Oakland & Cleveland. The year he turned 30 his body completely fell apart and he isn’t even on a roster at 31.

Cooper seemed like the type who could age gracefully because he was such a good route runner etc. No, he total fell off.

We don’t have to stop with Cooper. Chad Ochocinco, Andre Johnson, Pierre Garçon, Roddy White, Brandon Marshall, Anquan Boldin, Michael Thomas are all dudes who were all pro level guys and the year they turned 30 they fell off and were just guys. Oh but that’s not Terry, he’s different because he’s ours…Riiiight.
