Snyder (the absolute worst owner in all of sports) to stay on a owner

One step at a time buddy.
If we get a new owner, I would cheer for any name they wanted to call this cursed team.

Let’s go Washington Wisdomteeth!!

If the uniform rules don't allow for changes for 5 years, I can't see the NFL being ok with multiple name changes in a very short period of time. Plus it would be an impossibly fast timeline to boot Snyder and approve a new owner, pick another name, new uniforms, and get everything in place for week 1.

That is possible.......but the new owner would robably hire his own team president and get rid of Jason Wright.....I can imagine it wouldn't take the new team president 18 months to come up with a new team name.

Yes, this is crazy, and I wish people would stop fantasizing about this.

This great if it gets rid of Dan. It’s awful if it puts a cloud over Washington and deters any good qb coming here.

That cloud would be temporary - way more temporary than Snyder's reign. Perhaps no QB this year in your scenario?...but the future would be B R I G H T!

I’m sensing a change in attitude from the NFL. The screws appear to be tightening.

[rocnrik]

My point was all what if’s.. and was based on Snyder being forced to sell team .. if you think that’s not possible then so be it .. I believe there is a real possibility he does sell and IF that happens the New owner will indeed have a say in the stadium .. the coach etc ..the name/brand could be used as a bargaining tool .. I can see some billionaire that does not like name and says if I buy it I will change that because Snyder named it and F that …if you are in the camp of Snyder will never sell then all of this is bull crap .. I think he will sell .. we will see

I'm pretty sure the NFL is not going to want to go through a name change again. Also, what owner wants to go through that hassle, and again, I don't want an owner to come and be that involved in team matters.

If you want an owner that wants to make that many changes what's stopping them from wanting to move the team? I know it is not going to happen because this is a big TV market, but we already had an owner come in and change everything (Snyder).

I prefer an owner that comes in and stays in the background.

Any new owner can do what he or she wants. Considering what a dud the switch to Commanders has been, I would expect something different to be very well received.

Besides, multiple names are a DC specialty. Our current NBA team has been the Packers>Zephyrs>Bullets>Wizards. Our football team has been the Braves>Redskins>WFT>Commanders.

But its all moot. Danny ain't going anywhere.

Everything about this team has been a dud. But there's a higher chance of Snyder having to sell the team than a new owner coming in and changing the name.

On the first, we both agree.

On the second, one could easily lead to the other.

Nobody would miss the name Commanders. Maybe a few fans on this site, but I suspect the same enthusiasm that cheered on ditching Redskins and adopting Commanders could be reoriented yet again.

No matter. Danny will survive. His prior reputation makes his latest transgressions seem less shocking. And he has very powerful allies. Messrs Mara, Lurie, and Jones are not going to let the Jolly Rodger do the Danny dirty.

IF there was ever a new owner, everything is on the table - coaches, staff, name, logos...everything. You don't spend that kind of money and not have carte blanche over every aspect of the team.

We're definitely going down a rabbit hole here though. Chances of getting a new owner any time soon are slim, and then chances that the new owner would change the name right off the bat are even slimmer.

Can't wait until they figure out what they are doing at QB.

Everything is on the table, but I feel people are just trying to wish the new name away.

The new owners of the Panthers went through two years before there were any changes in the FO and coaching staff.

If there is a change in ownership, we are looking at least 2-3 year timeline for that to happen, and an additional 2-3 years for any changes to be made. IF the team has any success during this time, it will be hard to justify any changes. But if the team sucks, yeah there'd be a clean house, I still think the name stays.

So you are saying that if someone comes in and buys the Chicago Bears and feels like changing the name the NFL would let him?! You're dreaming.
