Andrew Luck Retires
 
Filed to ESPN: Andrew Luck has informed the Colts he is retiring from the NFL, per source. There will be a press conference Sunday to make it official, but Luck is mentally worn down, and now checking out.

Per schefter

Let's trade them Chad Henne (or Shurmur or Litton) for a 1st round pick.

This shit is crazy. I feel he just needs some time but he may feel he's just had enough of rehab.

Valiant 08-24-2019 07:38 PM

Talking with my cousin.

He is doing this with the colts blessing. They want the too pick this year. Luck will get a year to heal up and then be traded to his team of choice.

tredadda 08-24-2019 07:38 PM

Wonder if Indy will now Tank for Tua.

jjchieffan 08-24-2019 07:38 PM

Wow! That is just unfathomable. And on the cusp of the season?? I would be sick if I was a Colts fan. But, I'm not. And I don't feel a bit bad for them. They've had the Hall of fame careers of Unitas and Manning. They even turned losing Manning into a win by being able to draft Luck in the first place. They can suffer at QB for a change.

kcpasco 08-24-2019 07:38 PM

Dude can’t stay healthy. I don’t blame him.

That doesn't sound like retiring

RunKC 08-24-2019 07:38 PM

Schefter just said that Luck has been considering this for several months and even last year. Wow

Now we know why Ballard wasn’t spending money

Red Dawg 08-24-2019 07:38 PM

Colts wanna stink for Lawrence

ShowtimeSBMVP 08-24-2019 07:39 PM

Heard it here first Eli Manning will be a Colt

carcosa 08-24-2019 07:39 PM

This is ****ing nuts

tk13 08-24-2019 07:39 PM

This is so shocking you almost have to think Schefter was hacked, but they were running it on the bottom line on ESPN.

SupDock 08-24-2019 07:39 PM

Pretty unbelievable. I doubt we will ever know the specifics but it must be something big

TEX 08-24-2019 07:39 PM

Elway is already on a plane to Indy...

Munson 08-24-2019 07:39 PM

This is a strategic move so the Colts can suck in 2019/2020, and draft Trevor Lawrence with the #1 pick in 2021.

BlackHelicopters 08-24-2019 07:39 PM

Holy sheet!

KC_Connection 08-24-2019 07:40 PM

Good with me. One less team for us to worry about in Mahomes' prime.

Don’t think Lawrence will be available after this year.

Being in pain all the time will bring a man down. And he's been hurt a lot

They deserve a little run like the post-Kelly Bills.

MMXcalibur 08-24-2019 07:41 PM

Doesn't sound like Luck could shoulder the responsibility of being an NFL quarterback.


































....**** the Colts.

mr. tegu 08-24-2019 07:44 PM

My betting site took the Colts o/u off.

Looks like this caused ESPN's website to crash. LMAO

jd1020 08-24-2019 07:44 PM

Is there the next next Peyton Manning in next years draft? Time to tank again?

noa 08-24-2019 07:45 PM

Insane!!!

Hoover 08-24-2019 07:45 PM

That franchise has been a freak show for the pasty three years.

I feel bad for Chris Ballard

yup, that's what I did too, go to espn to see if it's for real.

when it finally loaded it says


There will be a news conference Sunday to make it official, but Luck is mentally worn down, and now checking out, the source said.

This is just ****ing crazy man.

I was thinking the Chargers were going to be lucky and get the Colts without Luck while we would get them at full strength.

Well they "Sucked for Luck" so why not Lawrence?

Is there anything else even comparable? Is Barry Sanders the closest thing?

Calvin Johnson.

But I don't think they retired during week 3 in the preseason.

I was a little salty when Roaf retired right before preseason that one year.

That could explain why nobody wanted the head coach job and why Josh McDaniels backed out of the job.

notorious 08-24-2019 07:51 PM

**** their lucky-bounce, cock-sucking faces.


Drench yourselves in AIDS gasoline and light it up with a dildo shaped match.

Hoover 08-24-2019 07:52 PM

Luck probably takes a few years off and mounts a comeback with the Broncos...

Still not comparable. A good starting QB in the NFL walking away in his prime(age wise)is simply not a thing that happens.

RunKC 08-24-2019 07:52 PM

It will never be this easy for Andy. Ever. We better be in the Super Bowl this year or next year

Luck-KO’d
Brady-42, no Gronk, sold his house and has void in contract after this year
Baker-overrated first year HC. Can’t keep up with Pat, has a small penis
Deshaun-shitty HC, worst OL in NFL, team not good enough
Rivers-is literally Phillip Rivers
Big Ben-team not good enough anymore
Lamar Jackson-black Tebow
Darnold-not there yet. Can’t keep up with Pat

Can you imagine if Brady’s contract voids after this season and he leaves?

Mr. Kotter 08-24-2019 07:53 PM

Just....WOW...
