It’s a bit hard to separate reports from rumors as Monday morning looms large for the DC franchise

Twitter is running hot with sources, stories, rumors and guesses about what is going on at Redskins Park. There are only two things everyone seems to agree on:

  1. Monday morning (and perhaps the rest of the week) will see changes announced by the franchise.
  2. The Redskins moniker, which has been used by the franchise since 1933, will be officially “retired” on Monday following the name review that had been previously announced on July 3rd.

After that, the reports and rumors diverge.
