With Jim Irsay’s passing comes the passing of the baton from one Irsay to the other. It happened before from Bob to Jim, and now the franchise belongs to the Irsay daughters all of which are involved in some form or fashion. Carlie Irsay-Gordon, however, is the one tabbed to be in charge of football operations. This isn’t a sell off to an outside person or even a group, so the amount of change could be minimal, yet, any time an organization changes at the top, change seems inevitable. How much change is the question at hand.
