We're going to talk some Terry McLaurin here on Open Line Thursday.

It's a pretty simple question.

Do you think the commanders can make the playoffs in 2025 if the Terry McLaurin

hold in slash hold out continues into the season and he doesn't play?

Look, we realize that's a pretty unrealistic scenario that he will probably play in 2025 because he is under contract, even if he doesn't get a new deal from the team. Right. Now, he won't be happy about it. He'll be disgruntled. I mean, if he didn't play, yes, it makes it very difficult for them. I mean, he's one of their best offensive players. Right. So it would be very difficult. But I mean, you and I agree. He's going to play.

Yes.

He's not going to miss games because he's holding out and sacrificing game checks. He's not going to do that. And I still think he'll get something done. Something will get done before the season starts. Yeah. But, I mean, to answer your question, yeah, it would be very difficult for them. If he was out. I mean, you just go back to Adam Peters.

If he was out, yeah, of course it would be very difficult.

You go back to Adam Peters. If he was out, yeah, of course, it would be very difficult. You go back to Adam Peters time with the 49ers. Brandon Ayuk didn't reach an agreement until August 29th. Like super late in the preseason. Like that's basically a week before the NFL season starts. And that's when they came to terms. Then I think he played five or six games and got hurt.

I don't think that,

I don't think this one is going to last into late August.

I could be wrong. It could linger into the regular season or the end of the preseason.

Right.

But I'm with you.

I feel like a deal would get struck at some point. I mean, you don't want to have a disgruntled Terry McLaurin for 2025 when you're trying to make a run like a super legit Super Bowl run. Yes, of course. You want him to be there and happy. Yes, taking care of. I don't know how happy he's going to be, but I think he's going to be there. Right. You know? But yeah, I mean, if he wasn't there, it'd be very difficult. I mean, it helps the Debo's there. Certainly. But if someone went down with an injury, oh man, one of their receivers and they were kind of struggling at that position, yeah, absolutely. They probably have to go out and look at somebody and sign somebody.

Sure.

Like an Amari Cooper or somebody that's still a free agent,
