Washington Commanders general manager Adam Peters has stated that he doesn’t expect comments from President Donald Trump about the team name and stadium deal to affect the team’s focus on football. The remarks, made by Trump on social media, were in response to the team changing its name from the Washington Redskins to the Washington Commanders. Despite this, Peters emphasized the team is focused on preparing for the upcoming season. The team recently signed veteran Von Miller and has contract extension talks underway with receiver Terry McLaurin. With training camp opening, Peters said the team is prioritizing football-related matters over non-football topics.
