So far, McLaurin has amassed just 12 catches for 235 yards and one touchdown this season, with just 15 of those yards coming on Sunday in Dallas. Wide receiver Terry McLaurin is the eighth-highest earner on the team since his three-year, $71 million contract extension doesn't kick in until 2024. Entering Week 4, Fuller’s numbers didn’t stack up with his contract, either: he’d allowed 251 receiving yards across three games for two touchdowns and a 123.6 passer rating allowed.īeyond the upper echelon of Washington’s highest-paid players, the next salary tier does not provide much relief in terms of on-field production. Washington’s fourth-biggest cap hit this year (behind Curtis Samuel, who has been a productive piece of the offense) is Kendall Fuller at $11.1 million. Jackson had a self-assessed, underwhelming first campaign in Washington last year after being brought in to stabilize the secondary as a seasoned veteran. The second-highest paid Commanders’ player this season is William Jackson III, who carries a $13.8 million cap hit, per. Still, Wentz should not be the sole subject of blame for Washington’s 1-3 start. However, at times this season, he's held onto the ball too long, produced a few too many negative plays and leads an offense that's scored just two touchdowns in its last two games. Inconsistent offensive line play has hampered his ability to make reads down the field.

Wentz’s struggles certainly aren’t his fault alone. But Wentz is far from the only Commander who has underwhelmed given his salary this year.

Those aren't the words you want to hear week after week from a player who carries a $28.2 million cap hit this season. Carson Wentz said after the Commanders’ Week 2 loss in Detroit he’s “got to be better.” He said after Washington’s Week 3 loss to the Eagles he, “did not play to my standard.”įinally, after a 25-10 loss to Dallas in Week 4-Washington’s third straight-Wentz said, “I gotta be better.
