Terry McLaurin's next team odds following shocking trade request from Commanders
Terry McLaurin wants out of Washington, but don't expect a quick exodus.
McLaurin, nicknamed 'Scary Terry,' is not pleased with his contract and wants a new one or a trade from the franchise, which has its eyes firmly set on winning the Super Bowl this year.
Oddsmakers at DraftKings see it as unlikely that McLaurin winds up being shipped out of Washington, as they've tagged the Commanders with -250 odds to be the team that the wideout suits up for in Week 1 (or whenever he plays his first game).
Those odds carry a 71.43 percent implied probability.
There are two clear favorites should he be moved, though, according to the sportsbook.
The Patriots' odds to acquire McLaurin are +450 (18.18 percent implied), which gives them the second-best chance of any team in the NFL to acquire him.
The Raiders are third, with +500 odds to bring in Scary Terry.
Every other team looks to be a long shot to pony up enough assets or money for McLaurin, according to the bookies.
No other team is lower than 10/1 to get McLaurin.

Team Odds Commanders -250 Patriots +450 Raiders +500 Titans 11/1 Chargers 11/1 Jets 13/1 Browns 14/1 Steelers 15/1 Cardinals 16/1 Seahawks 25/1 Odds provided by DraftKings
McLaurin has been highly productive for the Commanders and looked primed for a breakout season in 2025 alongside newly acquired Deebo Samuel and a second year with Jayden Daniels.
He scored an impressive 13 touchdowns in 2024 to go along with 1,096 yards as he and Daniels formed a dynamic duo.
Washington went to the NFC Championship game last season and is poised to be even better in 2025 after bringing in Samuel and pass rusher Von Miller — although losing McLaurin would limit that ceiling.

Steelers inquired about potential Terry McLaurin trade, but one holdup remains, per report
The Terry McLaurin to Pittsburgh rumors are heating up — as a new report has indicated the Steelers have reached out to the Washington Commanders about a possible trade. According to DK Pittsburgh Sports' Chris Halicke, sources say Steelers GM Omar Khan reached out to the Washington Commanders to inquire about McLaurin's availability — but financial obligations may hold up a deal. "In reaching out to the Commanders, the Steelers learned that McLaurin not only wants to be paid like a true No. 1 receiver, which is expected, he wants to be a true No. 1 receiver on whatever team he plays on in 2025 and beyond," Halicke wrote. "With the Steelers having DK Metcalf signed to a five-year, $150 million contract, they've committed to him as their No. 1 receiver." ESPN's Adam Schefter previously echoed a similar sentiment — revealing on The Pat McAfee Show that McLaurin wants to surpass Metcalf's $33 million per season. Still, Khan's inquiry is an exciting development — one that should come as no surprise considering the blockbuster moves made by Pittsburgh this offseason.

An unexpected shuffle on the O-line: Five things we learned this week at Raiders training camp
LAS VEGAS — On Saturday, for the first time since January, the Las Vegas Raiders took the field at Allegiant Stadium. They were there for their 'mock game' — basically a propped-up practice — in front of thousands of fans. 'We're just getting warmed up,' coach Pete Carroll said Saturday. 'We've got a lot of work to do.' Advertisement There was no tackling to the ground during the session, but the Raiders still came away with an injury — safety Lonnie Johnson Jr. got rolled up on by a teammate and had to be carted off the field. It was a lower leg injury for Johnson, who's been handling duties as the third safety for the defense. After practice, Carroll called it a 'significant' injury. Sneak preview 🍿#RaiderNation — Las Vegas Raiders (@Raiders) August 2, 2025 The Raiders were in pads for four of their five practices during the second week of training camp. Competition ramped up on both sides of the ball, and things will go up another level next week when they travel to Seattle for their preseason opener against the Seahawks on Thursday. Here are five things I learned from Week 2 of Raiders training camp. In one of the most surprising developments of training camp thus far, it turns out Jackson Powers-Johnson isn't locked in as the starting center. He's been rotating with fifth-year offensive lineman Jordan Meredith, who started eight games at guard last year. Carroll believes Meredith is better off at center due to his lack of size. The coaching staff approached Meredith in the offseason about making the transition. 'It allows me to see the game from a different perspective,' Meredith said Saturday. 'In the center position, you have a lot of calls. When you're out there making the calls, it can get really fast. … The good thing about this is I've got really good (players) all around me and they're all very smart. If I'm making a call, they're also making the call. … We all communicate really well.' The Raiders are working to identify the best group of five for the offensive line. As part of that process, they also had Powers-Johnson slide over to starting right guard during practice Thursday. He was replacing Alex Cappa, who's held down that role since OTAs. The full lineup was: Kolton Miller at left tackle, Dylan Parham at left guard, Meredith, Powers-Johnson, and DJ Glaze at right tackle. On Friday, Powers-Johnson lined up as the backup right guard behind Cappa. On Saturday, he was back as the starting right guard. Advertisement Powers-Johnson starred at center in college, spent all of OTAs at center and has made it clear he prefers to play the pivot, but the Raiders believe his ceiling could be just as high at guard, according to team sources. He started multiple games at guard last year. 'Regardless of if it's center or guard, physicality, emotion, a finish to him,' Miller said Thursday. 'He's so dynamic. Having a lot of the guys be able to do both is big. So, wherever he's placed, he makes a big impact. … Wherever he's placed, watch out.' Decamerion Richardson wasn't expected to play much as a rookie but ended up appearing in 12 games and making seven starts. The results weren't pretty; according to Pro Football Reference, he allowed 10 yards per target (16th-most in the league) and 15.3 yards per completion (15th most). Despite that, the front office gave him a clean slate to work with this offseason. It's still early, but Richardson has taken advantage and displayed a lot of growth. 'He was like, 'Man, JB, I feel like how you were last year, man, they just keep throwing my way,'' fellow corner Jakorian Bennett said Thursday when asked to reflect on Richardson as a rookie. 'And I was like, 'Yeah, bro, it's going to happen like that. The game doesn't slow down for you.' So, I'm happy for him and glad things are kind of slowing down for him.' Richardson has worked frequently with the starters as of late, and he has been consistent in coverage and is starting to make more plays on the ball. He has everything Carroll likes in his corners from a physical standpoint — he's tall, long and fast — and has a lot of upside. Eric Stokes has been a constant in the starting lineup, so the primary player Richardson has been trying to fend off is Darien Porter, who was drafted in the third round this year and also has a lot of physical talent. Richardson and Porter rotated throughout this week. Advertisement 'Just the mental part of it,' Porter said Thursday when asked where he's made the most strides. 'It can be kind of daunting coming into the NFL as a rookie, especially at the cornerback position, but with the guys that I have in the room, with the coaches that I have, and with the practices and continued practices, I think confidence is just getting better by the day.' Bennett has been the odd man out in the rotation. There have been times where he's working with the second- or even third-team defense in practice. He was the Raiders' best corner in the 10 games he played last year, but he's struggled to stay healthy in his first two seasons and is on the shorter end (listed at 5-foot-10) for a Carroll cornerback. Although he's performed well in practices, Bennett hasn't gotten as many first-team reps as the others. 'It's nothing that I haven't been through before, you know?' Bennett said. 'Like in high school, I only started one year, my senior year. Going JUCO and going to Maryland. I always feel like the underdog, and not saying I'm an underdog right now, but just more so, I always had to get out the mud, you know. And, man, that's nothing I shy away from. That's who I am. I like to persevere. I like to be resilient, and that's when I see the best JB, when I'm just focused on me, focused on just being present and just controlling what I can control at the end of the day.' Nobody used 12 personnel (one running back, two tight ends, two receivers) more often than the Raiders last year. They used the grouping on 35.9 percent of their snaps (first) according to TruMedia. When it came to effectiveness out of 12 personnel, however, they were below average: just 4.8 yards per play, which ranked 23rd. Part of the problem was they didn't get what they expected out of Michael Mayer. He missed six games due to personal reasons, and he wasn't himself when he did play. He said he feels better mentally, emotionally and physically, and he's put forth a strong training camp so far. Another big issue was the Raiders were one of the worst teams in the NFL running the ball. Their blocking was poor, and they lacked a difference maker in the backfield. They hope the O-line is better this year, and they're expecting to be much better at running back with the addition of Ashton Jeanty. Offensive coordinator Chip Kelly used 12 personnel often in the same role at Ohio State last year. Given the Raiders' lack of depth at receiver, the idea makes a lot of sense. Whether they're any good at it will start to emerge in the preseason. Advertisement Elandon Roberts is pretty locked in as the starting Mike linebacker, but there's a four-way competition at Will linebacker. Devin White has taken the majority of the snaps there since OTAs and has had such a strong training camp that Carroll declared him 'back' to his old self. Germaine Pratt will be White's biggest competition. He took White's spot during practice Friday, but White was back as the starter Saturday. The Raiders are also working in Tommy Eichenberg and bringing Jamal Adams along slowly. They typically use two-linebacker groupings, so the competition here will be intense, and however it shakes out, they should have quality depth. The Raiders signed defensive end Maxx Crosby to a massive extension in March, but that was different. He's a top five player at his position and is still in his prime. That's a deal you get done even if you've never met him. For the rest of the extension-eligible players on the rosters, an argument could be made for the Raiders to hold off and see how they perform this season before committing to them. Instead, they signed Miller to a three-year, $66 million extension with $42.5 million guaranteed on Wednesday. Miller thinks that should help the front office set a positive tone with the roster. 'You put in the work, you show up and it's all about buying in and keep buying in each year because nothing is given; you have to keep earning it each day,' Miller said. 'I think it sends a great message to the team and the organization that they take care of their guys.' (Top photo of Jackson Powers-Johnson, left, and Jordan Meredith: Ethan Miller / Getty Images)

FOX Facing Pressure From NFL Fans To Remove Tom Brady Before Week 1
FOX Facing Pressure From NFL Fans To Remove Tom Brady Before Week 1 originally appeared on The Spun. Tom Brady is gearing up for his second season as FOX's No. 1 color commentator, but should that be the case? Apparently, several fans are hoping the network makes a last-minute change to its broadcast booth. When FOX initially hired Brady as an analyst, NFL fans were excited to see what he'd bring to the table. They were hoping he'd be brutally honest about the product on the field. However, their stance on the seven-time Super Bowl champion changed once he became a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders. In an effort to maintain the league's integrity, Brady is not allowed to witness another team's practice. He also isn't allowed to attend production meetings for FOX. These restrictions were put in place because Brady currently represents the Raiders. Despite all the criticism surrounding Brady's rookie year at FOX, he has decided to run it back for the 2025 season. That's not a huge surprise considering he agreed to a 10-year deal. Even though Week 1 hasn't even arrived yet, NFL fans are already questioning Brady's ability to remain unbiased. On Friday afternoon, Brady was at training camp decked out in Raiders gear. A quick video of him watching practice sparked a ton of outrage on social media. "Why is the minority owner of a team the color commentator on FOX's #1 broadcast team? I still don't understand this at all," one fan said in response to the video of Brady at practice Friday. "Perfectly normal for him to be a network's #1 analyst. Perfectly normal," a second fan sarcastically said. "The fact that he's allowed to call games in just unspeakable," another fan wrote. "But he can be a broadcaster without being partial, right right," a social media user commented. Fans wouldn't have any issue with Brady getting a close look at his squad if he wasn't a national broadcaster. At the end of the day, FOX has invested a lot of money in Brady. The network isn't going to abandon this experiment after a few bumps in the road. If Brady struggles mightily this fall, maybe things will change. For now though, his job at FOX is Facing Pressure From NFL Fans To Remove Tom Brady Before Week 1 first appeared on The Spun on Aug 2, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Aug 2, 2025, where it first appeared.
