The name was considered controversial for sometime before they changed it, did they really not think of an alternative or were they just so blindly ignorant that they never thought they would have to change their racist nickname??  

I reckon they would have announced a proper new name by now had it not been for the other unpleasantness around the club at the moment.

They are probably waiting for things to die down a bit before starting with the inevitable "new name, new era" hype and associated merchandising push.

Some goon spent a lot of money registering a load of names which limits the ultimate choice.

Not sure when that will be.  As now under investigation for breaking the Rooney rule for their last two hires despite one of their new hires being female which means they did not break the Rooney rule for that hire .  

This is the second time this off season that the guys in charge of making sure the Rooney rule is adhered too has charged the Washington franchise.  The other time was with the hire of Rivera... who is of Hispanic heritage, which once again meant they did not break the rule.

TBF they have been cracking down on teams interviewing token candidates to comply with the Rooney rule.  When they saw that you were interviewing Rivera that would have been foremost in their minds and paperwork was probably issued before the hire.  'skins then skin and actually appoint the guy. 😁

Jamal Adams and a 4th to the seahawks for 2 firsts and a 3rd.

Welp, I was wrong on Adams being moved. 
Dumb move by the Jets, but par for the course with them.

You underestimate how poorly run that organization is.
