Looks like Jim and/or Ballard are willing to play hardball. Or at least act like they will.
Holy shit. It’s stunning how fast this has fallen apart.
I’m starting to wonder if he’ll ever play another down for the Colts.

Seriously? Was a back injury known and I missed it? Or is this just a face value fuck you back at JT and Co.? Cause remember Luck proved with his snowboarding accident that a team doesn't have to use the non-football injury list (star QB, I know).
Of course they have every right to use it if an injury occurred. The NFL even
sent out a memo regarding injuries away from team facilities prior to 2021 when DEN OT Ja'Wuan James blew out his knee away from the team and lost his salary + $15m in guarantees.
They sent that memo because so many players were publicly shocked and unaware that they could lose their contracts under those circumstances. Did JT and Co. not read the memo before they made their battle plan?
