Dan Quinn on Terry McLaurin requesting a trade: “He let me know that that was happening, too. We love Terry. Really glad he’s here. Hopefully he’s out practicing soon. We also understand the business side. … I’m really glad he’s here. I love coaching him. … Somebody asked me…

Dan Quinn said Terry McLaurin told him of his trade request before it went public. “We love Terry, we’re really glad he’s here… I also understand the business side of things that they’re working through. I love coaching him. Is it a distraction? Not it is not.”

Dan Quinn has said repeatedly said he hopes to see Terry McLaurin on the field soon. He’s been “holding in” to avoid fines and the team has said he has an ankle injury.
Sounds like McLaurin will have to make a financial decision soon.

Evaluating players with Adam Peters:
DQ says he watches practice film with Adam Peters everyday and sometimes that leads to other conversations, sometimes it’s just straight football. “There’s a lot of players to evaluate”
