What's worse. Whitlock today said Luck will be back in two years and he will play for the Cowboys.

Then a patriots fan came in and said the patriots after Brady retires.

Yeah not a lot of good info. I did find an blurb about it on PFT:

I’m fairly certain that if Luck ever came back he’d be under contract with the Colts and not a FA. Of course it appears I was wrong about the waivers so who knows. It still seems weird, because couldn’t someone like Bell have used this to force his way out of Pittsburgh? Show up to camp, retire, wait a few weeks, unretire, then hit waivers? Something doesn’t seem right.

It’s weird and seems like a loophole. I listened to something after I posted and they said they still have Luck’s rights for three years. Bc same thing came up with Mcafree when he tried out with the Bears this month. But we still have his rights. So not really sure.

Interesting article on how many of the Colt players found out about Luck's retirement. I know everyone loves Andy as a person but I'll go out on a limb and say that this was all about him, not about the team in any way. If it was, he wouldn't have taken the chance that it comes out the way it did. This has to be tough on the locker room, to learn like this. He told his friends, like any of us would but not the team in general. Cared about his friends (he knew it mattered and would be hard on the team, otherwise why give a heads up to guys you like) but not quite as much as the team in general. Don't tell me he wanted it to be quiet so he only told a few, if you want that you don't tell anyone until you are ready to tell everyone. I have no argument with his decision. Just the timing (15 days before opening day) and the way it was allowed to roll out. It is a good decision for him and his family. If I were his dad I would be happy my son has decreased his chance of CTE. In his emotional state I also think it was to much to ask for him to process all of this at the time. The organization, in my opinion, should have advised him and managed this better. Just an all around bummer

Based on the number of draft picks used and FAs signed for the OL, I think Grigson did try to fix it, but he was too incompetent to get the job done. Agree with you on the '70s style offensive scheme Clappy and clowns wanted to run had a lot to do w/ Luck getting beat up.

It was a perfect storm. Dakich must be friends with Grigson because he was trying to put more blame on the coaching staff. But his bad drafting and bad management contributed quite a bit.

Oh and Luck took a full page ad out in today’s indystar.
