After Dropping 'Redskins', Washington NFL Franchise To Use 'Washington Football Team' As Temporary Name
(CBS SPORTS) - After weeks of uncertainty, the Washington NFL franchise took another step in retiring its long-time moniker. On Thursday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Washington will call itself the "Washington Football Team," effective immediately. This is not a final renaming and rebranding for the team, according to Schefter. This is the name it wants to use until the pending adoption of a new name in the future.
