NFL rumors: Washington team to change name in next '24 to 48 hours'

The Washington NFL team soon will have a new nickname.

Yahoo Sports' Charles Robinson reported Saturday that the team will announce a new name in the coming days, and he broke the news on live radio.

"Washington is about to have a new name in the next 24 to 48 hours," Robinson said on ESPN 103.3 FM in Dallas. "Yeah, that's going to happen, for sure. Definitely happening."

When hosts Clarence Hill Jr. and DJ Ringgenberg pressed Robinson for what the new nickname would be, he didn't have that information.

"But I heard the NFL is starting to take steps to tell everybody who has Washington's nickname on its platform, to start scrubbing it, start taking it off.
