"I may put a restriction on them that if they don't change the name back to the original ‘Washington Redskins,' and get rid of the ridiculous moniker, ‘Washington Commanders,'" the president said.

U.S. President Donald Trump threatened on Sunday to interfere with a deal to build a new football stadium in Washington, D.C., unless the local NFL team, now known as the Commanders, changes its name back to Redskins.

President Trump can't unilaterally block a stadium deal for the Washington Commanders to return to DC. But he has ways he can try to intervene.

The Los Angeles Chargers could use an upgrade for their wide receivers room and the Washington Commanders may have someone who can help them out.

Later in the day, he threatened the NFL team’s stadium deal if it didn't change its name back to the Redskins.

This year, the Washington Commanders and general manager Adam Peters drafted a mix of offense and defense in the NFL Draft. With just five total picks in this year's selection show, Peters added three offensive players and two defensive players.

Washington is leaning on veteran stars Bobby Wagner and Laremy Tunsil as the Commanders push toward 2025 contention.
