With the preseason just around the corner, the Washington Commanders still have one key issue to address. That being their standoff with Terry McLaurin.

After weeks of failing to come to an agreement on an extension, this ordeal has reached new heights. Earlier this week, reports emerged that McLaurin formally requested a trade from the Commanders.

Although he asked out, Washington has remained firm on its stance that they have no intentions of moving such a foundational piece to the organization.

In light of these new developments, McLaurin has been a hot topic in and around the NFL. Among those to weigh in with their thoughts was Will Blackmon on Friday’s installment of Good Morning Football. The former champion tossed out the idea of the Pittsburgh Steelers being a landing spot for McLaurin.

“If anybody, it would be somebody either who is like Super Bowl ready or someone who is truly going all in,” Blackmon said. “I look at someone like the Steelers. Right now, they’re in a situation where yes you went and got Aaron Rodgers because you are truly going all in. Why not have two No. 1s out there if you’re really trying to make it happen?”

The Steelers’ window with Rodgers under center is tight, as the former MVP has stated that this will likely be his last season in the NFL. Pittsburgh already went out and got him one viable target in DK Metcalf. Giving Rodgers a deep-ball threat like McLaurin would certainly increase their chances of making a run at the Super Bowl.

When it comes to McLaurin’s failed extension talks, price remains the biggest roadblock. Coming off a fifth straight 1,000-yard season, he feels he has earned a deal comparable to the highest earners at his position.

On the other hand, the Commanders are cautious to give such a lucrative contract to a receiver who is soon going to be on the wrong end of 30.

Seeing that Washington doesn’t want to trade McLaurin, a new contract remains as the most realistic outcome to this saga. With no developments of talks improving at all, it remains unclear when things will come to an end.

As all this drags on, McLaurin remains on the PUP list due to an ankle injury.
