WASHINGTON — DC Council Chair Phil Mendelson has reached a deal with the Commanders on an amended stadium agreement which he will put before the Council in a vote within days of next week’s public hearing, sources tell WUSA9. The Commanders did not respond to a request for comment.

D.C. Council Chair Phil Mendelson says the Commanders potentially restoring their old name is not an obstacle to approving a stadium deal. Why it matters: President Trump has threatened to derail the deal if the NFL team doesn't revert to the Washington Redskins — but the issue might not be much of a stumbling block for the council.
