Terry McLaurin, Adam Peters, and Dan Quinn speak for the first time since the new contract extension, revealing the emotions behind the successful negotiation.
On this episode, we break down the most important takeaways from a busy day in Ashburn. First, get the perspective from both the front office and the player on how the Terry McLaurin deal got done. Hear the story of the “huge commotion” outside Adam Peters’ office when the deal was announced and McLaurin’s side of the 30-man ovation he received in the weight room. After a negotiation process that included feelings of “uncertainty” and “frustration,” McLaurin sums it up by saying, “everybody wins”. Plus, hear his personal plan for getting ready for Week 1 without overdoing it.
Then, we dive into the tough decisions behind the 53-man roster. Head Coach Dan Quinn described the competitive process as leading to “sleepless nights” while building a roster defined by its culture and leadership. That leadership was on full display as McLaurin discusses the crucial support he received from teammates like Jayden Daniels and Bobby Wagner during the negotiation.
Finally, the practice squad offers the most tangible proof of the new culture in Ashburn. Dan Quinn tells the story of why so many players wanted to return to the team after being cut, and we break down the blend of veterans and rookies who make up what Adam Peters calls a “70 man roster”.
