Salt Lake City Comets

The Salt Lake City Comets were a professional American football team that played in Salt Lake City, Utah from its founding in 2022 to 2026 before relocating to Lafayette, Louisiana to become the Lafayette Krewes. The Comets began play in 2022 as a charter member of the World Football League (WFL). The team won one division title and played in one Gold Bowl Championship game.

2020–2024: Early Comets
The Salt Lake City Comets were founded on September 14, 2021, by Jesus Shuttlesworth II and Morgan Greensmith. The 2022 Salt Lake City Comets season was their inaugural regular season completed in the newly formed World Football League (WFL). Matt Mooney served as the team's head coach and offensive coordinator during his time with the Comets.

In 2022, the Comets were one of the worst teams in the WFL, winning only one game out of seven. The Comets caught fire in their 2023 campaign finishing with a 4–3 record while having a chance to play in the 2023 American Bowl. After defeating the Vancouver Lancers, they played the Egyptian Pharaohs in Gold Bowl II. They would go on to lose the game 42–32. The Comets would not reach the playoffs in 2024 after their 4–6 finish in the 2024 season. In January 2025, C.J. Broussard pursued the purchase of the Comets from Shuttlesworth.

2025–2026: Final years in Salt Lake City
In 2025, it was announced that C.J. Broussard would be the new owner of the Salt Lake City Comets. After the Comets had a 4–6 record in 2024, Broussard hired Lane Frost as the new Salt Lake City head coach for the 2025 season.

With a whole new coaching staff, the Comets regressed to 0–10 in 2025. Wide receivers Greg Olsen Jr and Ayomide Ayodele became the first players with 1,000+ receiving yards in a career and Ayodele broke the franchise single-season receiving yards record with 580 yards. Roman Reigns threw for a league-record 15 interceptions while breaking the franchise's record for passing yards in a season with 1,588.

General manager Aiden Frost became the full-time owner of the team when Broussard fell ill and had to hand the reins to someone else. Aiden Frost was also backlashed for bringing back his brother, Lane, for another season after not getting a single win in his first season. Bigger problems arose when former first-overall pick, Roman Reigns, requested a trade from the Comets. After only one season with the team, Reigns was traded to the Montreal Dragons for a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 fourth-round pick.

On June 16, 2026, Aiden Frost announced that they would be relocating to Lafayette, Louisiana.
