Things are not going well between Terry McLaurin and the Washington Commanders front office.

McLaurin wants to be in Washington, but it appears the two sides don’t see eye-to-eye on his contract.

The All-Pro receiver is entering the final year of his deal, and following a great 2024 season, he wants a new contract before he hits the field.

McLaurin made it clear he’s been frustrated with the pace of discussions on a contract extension.

“I’ve been pretty frustrated, I’m not gonna lie. Everything that has transpired up until this point has been disappointing and frustrating,” Terry McLaurin said.

“I want to continue my career here, I’ve created my life here… so this has been somewhere I’ve always wanted to be. Just to see how things have played out has been disappointing.”

The 29-year-old sat out during minicamp to send a message to the team. Despite the lack of movement on a new contract, McLaurin insisted he does not want to be traded, saying, “I want to be here. I want to make that abundantly clear.”

He later added that it would be tough for him to take the field without a new deal and that it’s been over a month since the team engaged in contract talks.

McLaurin had an excellent season in 2024.

He caught 82 passes for 1,096 yards and a career-high 13 touchdowns. 2024 was his fifth season, topping 77 catches and 1,000 yards. From 2020 to 2023, he averaged 1,091 yards and five touchdowns per season.

Keeping him happy is a key factor in the development of quarterback Jayden Daniels.

With Daniels and Terry McLaurin, the Commanders will enter the season with Super Bowl aspirations in 2025.

Joining Lorraine Kelly on Monday’s episode of the ITV show, the TV presenter, 43, also gave an health update after having two tumours removed from jaw.

Fearne announced her split from Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones bass guitarist Ronnie Wood, in December after 10 years of marriage.

She has since made swipes at Jesse and moved on with TV director Elliot Hegarty, with the pair having been seen kissing during a recent night out.

Fearne has had a difficult few months after undergoing surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline, just days before her split with Jesse emerged.

She told host Lorraine: ‘It’s all very amicable and kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’place.’

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’
