The Indianapolis Colts were founded in 1953 in Baltimore, Maryland, and now play their home games at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. The franchise is owned by Carlie Irsay-Gordon, with Chris Ballard serving as general manager and Shane Steichen as head coach. The Colts reached the Super Bowl following a 14–2 campaign in 2009 and have made the playoffs several times since, including postseason appearances in 2010, 2018, and 2020. Recent seasons have been less consistent, with records hovering around .500—the club went 9–8 in 2023 and 8–9 in both 2024 and 2025. The current roster features Jonathan Taylor, Quenton Nelson, DeForest Buckner, and newcomers including Sauce Gardner, Keenan Allen, and Tyler Warren.

“Keenan Allen is a newbie to the Colts. They don't have a long-term tie. I would think that probably could lead to his dismissal.”
