The Indianapolis Colts are entering unknown territory in the 2026 offseason. The team will be without longtime owner Jim Irsay, who died in May 2025. The ownership group of the team is now led by Irsay's daughter, Carlie Irsay-Gordon, but make no mistake: Irsay-Gordon knows her stuff.
For years, she has been a visible part of the team, whether that be making notes on the sideline or making notes in the press box. The owner green-lit the trade to acquire Sauce Gardner, for instance. She learned the sport from her father, and she is as knowledgeable about football as anyone.
