From a marketing stand point, the smart thing to do is stick to the calendar and announce it before the start of free agency, have people excited about something, give them hope that with the new name everything will change, and you have 6 months to build it up before they get humiliated on the field again.

Agreed.

Any announcement now would be seen like the retirement of Sean Taylor's number: a distraction from the chaos.
