Carlie Irsay-Gordon is expected to assume control of the Colts
The passing of long-time Colts owner Jim Irsay means that the team will have a new controlling owner. Via multiple reports, the new person in charge of the team is expected to be Carlie Irsay-Gordon.
At 44, she's the oldest of Irsay's three daughters.
All three are listed as owners of the team, and it is expected that all three will remain owners of the team. Irsay-Gordon's sister Casey Foyt, 42, and Kalen Jackson, 37.
League rules require every controlling owner to submit on an annual basis the name of the person who will assume control of the team in the event of the primary owner's death or incapacitation. The league cracked down after Titans founder Bud Adams died without giving any one of the three branches of his family control of the team; teams that don't have the appropriate i's dotted and t's crossed face fines of up to $10 million per year.
Irsay-Gordon assumed control of the team during the 2014 six-game suspension resulting from Irsay's DWI arrest.

Who would win between the 2018 and 2021 Rams? GM Les Snead has his pick
Who would win between the 2018 and 2021 Rams? GM Les Snead has his pick The Los Angeles Rams have made two Super Bowls in the past 10 seasons — once in 2018 when they lost to the New England Patriots and then when they won in 2021 over the Cincinnati Bengals. Both made the Super Bowl in different manners, as the 2018 team relied on a high-powered offense under second-year head coach Sean McVay. The 2021 team, meanwhile, swapped Jared Goff for Matthew Stafford under center and had a much more balanced approach between offense and defense. Les Snead was also the general manager of both teams and had a simple answer when ex-Titans GM Ran Carthon asked him which team would win in a game. "2021," Snead said. "They won it. They were very connected. There were a lot of people on that team who were part of '18. So there's that element of the hunger, really the starvation of that taste versus that element of when you first get there." The key elements of Snead's reasoning make sense: The 2021 won it, so clearly they were the better team. They also had the intangible element of having a taste of the Super Bowl, missing out on it and getting another shot at a ring. Clearly, too, Snead doesn't want to get into the Goff vs. Stafford argument. While Goff thrived under McVay, Stafford was good enough to take the team over the edge where Goff could not.

Les Snead reveals his favorite trade as Rams' GM
Les Snead reveals his favorite trade as Rams' GM Les Snead has been a part of a lot of trades since he took over as the Los Angeles Rams' general manager in 2012. Some of them helped turn the Rams into perennial contenders, while other smaller deals didn't amount to much. But throughout his 13 seasons with the team, Snead says his favorite trade was the first one he did in 2012 when the Rams traded away the No. 2 overall pick in the draft to Washington, who took Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III with the pick. In return, the Rams received three first-round draft picks and a second-round pick. "To be a rookie GM and be a part of pulling that off," Snead told CBS Sports' Ryan Wilson and ex-Titans GM Ran Carthon, "that shows you there's a lot of luck in this." While the Rams only got four picks from Washington, they parlayed them into eight players by the end: DT Michael Brockers, CB Janoris Jenkins, RB Isaiah Pead, OL Rokevious Watkins, LB Alec Ogletree, WR Stedman Bailey, RB Zac Stacy and OT Greg Robinson. Some players worked out better than others, but Griffin III didn't really pan out for Washington, either. As Snead says, it's a testament to how hard it is to draft in the NFL. Fortunately for the Rams, Snead and company have figured out a good scouting strategy that has resulted in some awesome players for L.A. in recent years.

Major Colts' Trade Candidate to Hold Out of Mini-Camp Over Contract Dispute
Major Colts' Trade Candidate to Hold Out of Mini-Camp Over Contract Dispute originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Indianapolis Colts may have a golden opportunity developing just across the AFC landscape. Bengals edge rusher Trey Hendrickson has officially skipped Cincinnati's mandatory minicamp, escalating tensions in a strained contract dispute, and potentially nudging the Pro Bowler onto the trade block. Advertisement Hendrickson, a consistent pass-rushing force and one of the league's more productive defensive ends, is seeking a new deal. Despite having the financial flexibility, Cincinnati has yet to meet his demands or reengage in talks. As the standoff stretches on, frustration appears to mount on both sides. The Bengals expected Hendrickson to play out the final year of his contract, but his absence this week signals a willingness to dig in until action is taken, whether that's an extension or a change of scenery. If the Bengals ultimately explore trade options, Indianapolis checks all the boxes for a potential landing spot. First, the Colts are in the market for a true impact edge defender. Last season, their pass rush lacked consistency and struggled in critical moments. Hendrickson's skill set, fast hands, high motor, and a knack for collapsing the pocket would give Indy's front four an immediate boost. Advertisement Second, the financials work. The Colts have the cap space to take on Hendrickson's contract, and their flexibility over the next two seasons gives them room to negotiate a longer-term deal if needed. With Anthony Richardson on a rookie deal and other young stars still on affordable contracts, now is the time to be aggressive. Perhaps most importantly, there's a connection already in place. New Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo spent years coaching Hendrickson in Cincinnati. If there's a team that can maximize his production from Day 1, it's one running a system he already knows inside and out. If Hendrickson's holdout leads to a split with Cincinnati, expect Chris Ballard and the Colts to be near the front of the line. For a team looking to reestablish its defensive identity and complement its young offense, this may be a rare opportunity to add a top-tier pass rusher without overpaying in free agency. Colts fans should keep a close eye on this situation, it has all the makings of a blockbuster move that could reshape the defensive front in Indianapolis.
