Washington has hired attorney Beth Wilkinson to review the organization's protocols, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Wilkinson is expected to perform a thorough examination of the franchise's culture. She represented the NFL in a lawsuit against the league's Sunday Ticket Package, as well as the NCAA and Major League Baseball in class-action suits.

Washington's minority shareholders also hired investment bank Moag & Company to inspect possible buyers and sell their stake in the franchise, Schefter reports.

The Washington Post is preparing to release a story about the NFL organization's culture, according to ESPN. Team officials are frustrated by the online speculation regarding such a report, sources told Schefter.

"There is much more going on at Redskins Park than a name change," Scott Abraham of ABC 7 News reports.

Washington retired its controversial name after sponsors threatened to cut ties with the organization if it didn't make a change. The franchise's new name is reportedly expected to be announced at some point before the 2020 regular season.
