Jayden Daniels Celebrates Terry McLaurin's Contract in Sweet Post
Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels took to social media this week to celebrate the news that star wide receiver Terry McLaurin has signed a three-year contract extension, keeping him with the team through the 2028 NFL season. The extension, reportedly worth up to $96 million with a $30 million signing bonus, solidifies McLaurin’s status as a cornerstone of the Commanders’ offense and provides a boost of confidence for the team entering the 2025 season.
Daniels shared a heartfelt post on X, writing, “Big bro locked in for the long haul! So proud of you, Terry. Let’s make history together. #TeamFirst #CommandersNation” alongside a photo of the two smiling during training camp. The post quickly garnered thousands of likes and comments from fans, teammates, and NFL analysts, all praising Daniels’ excitement and showing the strong camaraderie in the locker room.
The timing of McLaurin’s deal is especially significant. After holding out during training camp over contract negotiations, the wide receiver is now fully cleared to participate in all practices and will suit up for the regular-season opener against the New York Giants. His presence alongside Daniels provides the Commanders with a proven offensive weapon, one that has been critical to their success in recent seasons.
McLaurin has consistently been one of the most reliable receivers in the NFL, finishing last season with career-high production and helping lead Washington to the NFC Championship Game. His chemistry with Daniels, who continues to develop as the team’s franchise quarterback, has been a topic of excitement for fans and analysts alike. Daniels’ public support of McLaurin reflects not just friendship, but also a shared commitment to the team’s success.
With the extension secured, expectations are high for the Commanders’ passing attack in 2025. Daniels’ celebratory post is a small but telling sign of the locker room energy and confidence, as Washington looks to build on its recent playoff success and position itself as a contender in the NFC.
“Having Terry locked in gives us a shot at greatness,” Daniels told reporters. “We’ve got the talent, the drive, and now the stability we need. I can’t wait to get out there and do this together.”
