Around the NFL: News and Rumors

[RavensMania]

Oh @RavensMania , we need your insight sir!

Washington Fedexerans or Washington Snyder's. In all seriousness, I think they should go back to their original name, the Braves. They used to play in the Boston Braves stadium before moving to Fenway.where they changed the name to the Redskins. They played at Fenway for one year before moving to DC.

@rossihunter2 - Over the last several years, Warriors has been the most talked about name to replace the skins from the fan base.

ESPN's Dan Graziano reports the NFLPA Board of Player Representatives unanimously voted to recommend skipping the 2020 preseason.

the context of redtails makes it the most interesting of those options - it's the only one of those that's acceptable i think - still think they can do better though

If they call themselves the Washington Generals, they'll never win a game again.

So, you know, business as usual.

 

[airconteka]

Should call themselves Team America. Fuck yeah!

Since it now seems inevitable, any guesses on what the new name of the Redskins will be?

The Do Nothings.

Like the idea but Tuskegee is in Alabama. Still better than the Redskins since it offends some native Americans. Big story behind it tho since a lot do not find the term offensive at all.

 

[JoeyFlex5]

redtails is by far my favorite

 

[rossihunter2]

100% agree - do something interesting that allows you to be iconic with completely new iconography and logos

if they go with something like warriors its probably so that they can justify keeping the logos and branding and that would be a mistake for sure

clean break is what they need to completely lose the native american iconography

of the rumoured options, redtails is by far the best and its not even close

 

[SepticeyePoe]

Holy shit

 

[cdp]

EDIT @SepticeyePoe was faster.

I didn't know you could actually sign for more than 5 years

That's a baseball like contract, holy cow.

 

[rossihunter2]

Holy shit

surely it has to have escalators that up it vs the cap as the cap goes up or else its a stupid deal for mahomes to sign

reckon the base value of this contract has to be something like 10 yrs 400m with possibilities of increase further down the line
