Washington Football

Washington's NFL team has hired an attorney to "conduct a deep dive" into its own culture, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. 

That culture has come under serious scrutiny over the past few days. Here are the full details from Schefter, which he tweeted about on Thursday afternoon:

Wilkinson's hiring is just the latest development in what's become a very tense stretch for Dan Snyder's franchise. 

Monday's announcement that the team would be retiring its previous name and logo has since been overshadowed by talk of a potential Washington Post story that's expected to uncover some serious issues within the organization.

The story, however, has yet to be released, despite the building rumors about its contents. The delay has been attributed to the need for lawyers to get involved, and now, that's obviously happening.

Last weekend, two front office executives, Alex Santos and Richard Mann II, were let go. Then, on Wednesday, longtime radio play-by-play man Larry Michael retired from his position.

Wilkinson's bio can be found here.
