While the controversial name has been a common topic of conversation in NFL circles for years since the franchise moved away from the Redskins moniker, including during the Washington Football Team era, the Commanders have finally found success on the field with new ownership and star quarterback Jayden Daniels leading the way.

However, U.S. president Donald Trump made his opinion very clear on the Washington team name, suggesting that he wouldn't have changed their name from the Redskins if given the choice.
Trump's comments certainly don't indicate that another Washington name change is imminent, however, given the fact that the Commanders are seeking a new stadium in the Washington D.C. area, Pro Football Talk suggested that there could be a potential for it in the future.
