So yes, taking that shitty name and throwing it in the toilet would be on the table. Sadly, it probably won't happen.
Finances are part of the reason this team has sucked. Snyder has been gutting this team for money, and you see that affecting a lot of things. I'd rather that be the focus of the new owner, as opposed to tinkering with something that is irrelevant and largely being driven by delusional fans that think we're bringing the old name back.

Nothing is going to change in terms of coaches and front office this year, but that should be another priority as the season progresses.

Finally, the NFL wants this team to have a new stadium, so there will be pressure from the league and other owners to make that a priority.

Blah blah... they just signed Payne to 90 million and Allen to a huge contract. They bought Wentz in for 30 million. They're paying a 3rd WR a ton. Resigned McLaurin. Dan using the team as his piggy bank sure hasn't stopped them from paying guys.

Dan doesn't care what happens this offseason, since any major contracts won't come out of his pockets.

For every big signing they've done, there have probably been dozens of Andrew Norwell type cheap signings because Dan didn't want to spend a lot of money.
