Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay admitted in an interview with ESPN that he was apprehensive about extending Frank Reich's contract before the 2021 season, before ultimately doing so.

"I reluctantly gave Frank an extension sooner than I wanted to," Irsay said. "When you see it really, really coming apart, then you realize you have to make that change. Frank's forever part of the horseshoe, and he's beloved. He very well may coach again big-time, and we're rooting for him to do that."

Reich is now owed $36 million over the next four years after he was fired at midseason.
