Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin has wanted a new contract from the team for some time and the lack of one led to another request this week.

“Players today are more aware of contracts than they used to be,” Quinn told ESPN's Jonah Keim. “They recognize that’s the business part. For the team, we’re just rocking. For Terry, the trade request, that’s part of normal business that’s happening around the NFL. We understand it. This group is tight and they’re focused on what they have to do.”

Commanders coach Dan Quinn said receiver Terry McLaurin's trade request is not a distraction, calling it a normal part of business in the NFL.
