Yep, Pagano and Grigson both. Grigson didn't do shit to address the offensive line, and Pagano stayed with offenses with deep drops and long developing plays which was fucking brilliant behind that shit offensive line.

Grigson did try and fix the o line, but basically failed.

You know how bad this season is when people are fantasizing about Luck and having the umpteenth discussion about Grigson/Pagano. Can't wait to play meaningful football in December again next year.

Manning then Luck and only one Superbowl to show for it. I don't like to reminisce about it.

To answer the OP question, Luck's contract, when signed, made him the highest paid player in the NFL, and he retired. I don't think $2-5 million per year more is luring him out of retirement.

Luck
 

The Andrew Luck QB ship has sailed... .Colts need to draft a QB in the 1st round and start spending some of cap space on free agents.

They need the right guy for a QB, and there are a couple good ones right now in the NFL who weren't first round picks.

So, just for the sake of argument, what happens if the Colts draft a quarterback in the first 2-3 rounds and then Luck decides he wants to come back round about next training camp?

For the record, I don’t think that happens, but it’s not impossible either.

QB competition? there is certainly the CAP space to carry Luck and a rookie QB.

You would have Luck as the starter and then you hopefully have a quality backup if the draft pick pans out. Brissett can kick rocks.

BTW, your scenario would be cheaper I believe than if Luck just came back and we kept Brissett as backup.
