Washington did in fact pick a new name. It was a poll voted on by the people. It isn't that they don't want to be called by the new name, it's just a giant fuck you to everyone who is butthurt about their name. Other sports have the Indians, Blackhaws, Braves and even one in their sport, the Chiefs. It's all the social justice warriors that they're sticking it to. Do I think it's funny? Absolutely. Do I think their point is being proven? Nope because no one cares.
Anyways, TB12 looked like the same amount of shit he did last year in the tail end of the season. He should have stopped last year. While NE did yield another $5.5M in cap space unloading him and a fourth round pick for the shell of Gronk. I agreed that it was the right move even back when it happened. Rob is injury prone and going to play like a vagina this year trying not to get hurt and TB12 is going to force shit into lackluster routes to 'try' to get another ring. He's going to get a reality check this year. I'm not sure if his mindset was getting away from the AFC makes the road easier but they are going to get slapped by the Saints every time. He isn't who he used to be.
How about Cam, though? As a typical NE'er and fan, I'm always interested to see what Bill and Josh can do with new core members. Cam is something they've never really had before - a QB that has some legs. Although we certainly don't have the WR core we used to - especially unloading Sanu for some weird reason - but having the threat of mobility is something no AFC team had to pre-plan for when playing against NE. It would have been nice if they didn't lose so many players to opting out but hey, it is what it is.
