Sources: Washington's team hires attorney to review protocols

Washington's NFL team has hired DC attorney Beth Wilkinson to review the organization's protocols, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Thursday.

Wilkinson has represented the NFL in a lawsuit challenging the league's Sunday Ticket Package, and has also successfully represented the NCAA and Major League Baseball in class-action suits.

While Wilkinson is expected to conduct a deep dive into the organization's past culture, team officials are highly upset and frustrated about ongoing online speculation, sources tell Schefter.

The Washington Post is preparing a story about the team that is expected to highlight the culture that existed and some of the problems that were created, sources told ESPN.

Within the past week, front office members Richard Mann III and Alex Santos, as well as radio play-by-play voice Larry Michael, left the organization.

It has been reported that three minority shareholders are seeking to sell their interests in the team.
