Andrew Luck Retires

[Stop_It_5]

That’s because their hoping he comes back next year

That's definitely in the back of their mind, Irsay already hinted at hoping he'd have a change of heart down the line. Taking care of him on his way out certainly helps.

 

[PortCityProphet]

the mindset that you're sposed to work til you die is the dumbest shyt ever.
If you could and wanted to retire at 29 would you? That's all we work for is to be able to make enough to be able to relax and do what we want. Luck hit that point in his life and he's doing what he wants.
How can you judge a person for that?
Oh that's right ya gott be outraged by something now days

Plus Brady has had a consistent option in the backfield for his entire career for dump passes and a long history of great OL's including some HOF and fringe HoF guys blocking for him.

Luck had what, T-Rich and some washed up dudes from when Peyton was there.

Brady has not had a consistent running option in the backfield. The only elite back he ever had was Corey Dillon. The Pats have usually had a good and sometimes great running o line that makes average backs look good but the short throws are basically the running game.

Tom Brady apologists will ruin any thread if you let them.

How is anyone apologizing for Brady? People should just stop bringing him up. As for Brady vs. Luck, Tom was a better player and Andy was a better athlete. Andy never had a good enough o line or the right offense to be healthy. When the Patriots knew their o line was mediocre the entire offense was basically throwing the ball quick as shyt. We all saw what happened when the Broncos took that away and he had the hold the ball in that AFC championship game.

Fake woke Florio thinks that the Colts are not trying to recoup money possibly because they didn't want this to go to a messy NFLPA issue with the Colts med staff.
Report: Colts won’t go after Luck’s bonus money

Under NFL rules, the Colts could force Andrew Luckto pay them millions of dollars for abruptly retiring. But they won’t do that.

The Colts and Luck have already reached an agreement that the team will not go after any of that money, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

NFL players who receive a signing bonus and then choose to retire while still under contract can be forced to pay back a prorated portion of that signing bonus. In Luck’s case, that prorated portion of his signing bonus is $12.8 million. Luck’s contract also called for him to receive a $12 million roster bonus this year, and players can also be required to pay back roster bonuses if they retire after receiving the bonus but before playing.

Some star players who retired while under contract, including Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson, have been forced to pay back their money. The Colts have chosen not to.

Why not? It could be that Luck and Colts owner Jim Irsay reached an agreement not to make it messy, because Luck did have leverage: If he had wanted to, he could have simply told the team’s medical staff that he wanted to play but the leg injury that has kept him out of the preseason was too painful for him to play on, and that he needed to go on injured reserve, which would have allowed him to collect his full salary this year without playing. Luck did the honorable thing, and so the Colts aren’t going to fight him.

You are by pretending the patriots don't consistently have a good backfield because they don't sign RBs to big deals.
