How are we going down the name change rabbit hole again. Focus guys take your ADHD meds, we're about to get a new owner idc what you call them as long as nobody can call them Dan Snyder's.

I don't get it either. Plenty of priorities for the new owner, the name of team isn't and shouldn't be one of them.

I understand but there has been such discussion about it that it's understandable . First, IMPO if I'm the new owner I bump RR upstairs and make EB your HC. Second I work with DC and start the process for a new stadium. I just think that a new name a new Owner signals a new beginning .

IMO these should be the new owner's priorities:

1. Assessing the finances of the team (aka cleaning Snyder's mess)
2. Stadium
3. Coaching/FO assessment (after this upcoming season ends)

If I'm the new owner of this mess I am doing everything I can to get the fans back and get them excited again. Finances are for the accountants and Ron is here for at least the next year.

So yes, taking that shitty name and throwing it in the toilet would be on the table. Sadly, it probably won't happen.

If the team went back to RFK and got rid of Commanders this town would erupt.

Name isn't changing folks, they won't do this for a 3rd time

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.

Technically, it's still the offseason until Wednesday. We got today and tomorrow to get all the name change talk done.

I like the new helmets, that has made it much easier for me personally to accept Commanders. I don't love it, but I'm indifferent to it now, which is a massive improvement over where I started with this name.

Just don't see the name being changed what, 3 times, in 4 years? Don't even think the NFL would allow it. Also, Snyder will only have owned the team 1 year with that name, so I think the new owner(s) can still stamp it with his/their own track record.

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.

I think I could stomach Commanders if they just went back to our old uniforms. Bring back the mustard pants please!!!! That is probably the only thing Bruce did right!
