On Sunday, when the Washington Commanders host the Green Bay Packers, the franchise will add 10 legends to the team's "90 Greatest" list.
One of the honorees, former tight end Chris Cooley, has declined the invite.
"I'm very appreciative of being voted in, and I'm very appreciative of my time while I was there," Cooley said, appearing on the Kevin Sheehan Show. "At this point, I don't have a lot of desire to be involved with the Washington Commanders.
"It's not the team name that does it."
While Cooley didn't elaborate further, it's not hard to guess why the two-time Pro Bowler would want to distance himself from the team.
The Commanders are currently a mess on and off the field. Owner Dan Snyder recently came under fire after an ESPN report said he had collected "dirt" on his fellow owners.
Meanwhile, the product on the field hasn't given the fanbase much reason to cheer. The Commanders head into Week 7 sitting last in the NFC East with a record 2-4.
