Wow - Andrew Luck is retiring..

[57stratdawg]

Thought it was weird XM has been talking about the Colts playing without him this year. Guess this has been building for a while.

Nazis made him do it

 

[Dawg1976]

I know he's had some injuries but is he hurt now?

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Swag Kelly gonna be starting by week 3.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

I think I saw where he has had to sit out more games because of injuries than he's actually played in.

C'mon, Chad. So we're telling you there's a chance . . .

Time to finish up that architecture degree!

Quality of life > Football. I’m sure it was a tough decision.

 

[11thEagleFan]

So if he retires, sits out a year, then has the itch to come back and play, do the Colts still hold his rights? Asking as a disinterested Saints fan.

Had $58MM of guaranteed money left on his deal.

He just broke ESPN's website. Machine Gun Kelly might have a job.

A lot of the fantasy services were saying not to draft him because of an unsure future for this season. Guess they knew it was coming.

Well if your league already drafted, then your and idiot.

 

[Shamoan]

What a disappointing career.

 

[tenureplan]

RG3 is that you?

 

[SirBarksalot]

Just saw this on the espn crawl.
blown away...
i really hate this for that guy. This was a super bowl type team with him.
Wow

 

[MarkDallas]

Already trying to trade my backup QB to the guy who drafted him.

 

[GTAdawg]

I wouldn’t call four pro bowls in six years disappointing.

Clarion Ledger headline: "Andrew Luck fears losing job to Chad Kelly, retires instead"

OK so I’m feeling emotional pressure, but I’m getting paid $20MM a year. I think I can gut it out the next 3 years and then retire! What a dubmass!

He’s already banked almost $100 million since he got drafted in 2012. Obviously money is not an issue here. Dude was burned out and sick of constantly being injured. He’s got his whole life ahead of him and loads of money in the bank, if he didn’t want to jeopardize his long term health by playing a few more years, I think he earned the right to make that decision.

Jerruh lickin' his chops.

I think I’m more in agreement with this.

Than this.

If someone offered me 58 million over the next three years to offer to be a practice team punt returner who’s job it was is to let players try to time their hits right after I caught the ball I would ask where do I sign.

 

[Dawg1976]

Agree. He's got plenty of money and is more worried about long term quality of life. Others would rather gamble on this and gut it out for the money. Easy choice for me......retire.
