FedEx has reportedly informed the Washington NFL franchise that it intends to remove its signage from the stadium following the 2020 season if the team does not change its nickname.
According to Liz Clarke of the Washington Post, FedEx sent Washington Football Inc. a two-page letter July 2 to inform the organization of its plans should Washington decide against coming up with a new team name.
Washington and FedEx signed a 27-year, $205 million stadium naming rights deal in 1999. Washington is set to enter its 21st year playing at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland, and its 24th year at the stadium overall, which was called Jack Kent Cooke Stadium from 1997 to 1999.
