The #Colts have known that QB Andrew Luck was seriously mulling retiring for at least two weeks. He’s married, he plans to travel the world, and once the love for the game waned, it sounds like he wanted to step away. So, he did.

Andrew Luck is 29 years old, and has made $97M throughout his career. He’s a smart dude who has a great life ahead of him beyond football.
— Trevor Sikkema (@TampaBayTre) August 25, 2019
This decision must have been so hard, but his future is bright. It’s not always football or nothing. Wish him nothing but the best
Chad Kelly is starting at QB for the Colts and this makes me think one thing. The Colts feel they can’t get Jacoby Brissett hurt. So they already know what’s up with Andrew Luck.

Imagine if...
If I were a Colts fan I couldn’t even honor his career. This guy was supposed to be the best QB in the league at some point but instead his career just ended up being massively disappointing wouldn’t bee surprised if Colts fans booed him if were being honest

This is a very rough game. Most people who have not played at this level will never understand what we put our bodies through season after season. We don’t need the sympathy because this is what we signed up for but to “boo” a man that battled for that city is disgraceful.

How in the FUCK can he look ANYONE on the eyes after this? Owner, Ballard, teammates, fans?!?

Physical toll on Andrew Luck through 6 NFL seasons:
— Zak Keefer (@zkeefer) August 25, 2019
» Torn cartilage in 2 ribs
» partially torn abdomen
» a lacerated kidney that left him peeing blood
» at least 1 concussion
» a torn labrum in his throwing shoulder
» and this mysterious calf/ankle issue that led to this
Would it be better if Andrew Luck went through the motions and took the remaining $64 million anyway? This place has lost its god damned mind tonight. https://t.co/1MBNeadjah

What is most surreal about Andrew Luck's retirement right now is that it feels like sad news that a young millionaire is leaving a grueling, dangerous career to go spend time with his wife.

Someone somewhere just won a lot of money on a prop bet from 2011ish that they don’t even remember making.

All-time stunner. This is my generation's Barry Sanders retirement. This one is more surprising. Playing at elite level and making all the money. Wow. https://t.co/1wJdeLLhC4

Bert Jones wound up starting more games for the Colts than Andrew Luck. Which is crazy, since Jones was one of the most talented QBs ever who had to retire early due to injury and stopped playing for the Colts at the age of 30.
— Football Perspective (@fbgchase) August 25, 2019
Was just thinking about this. If Colts go from Manning to Luck to Lawrence, I will have zero sympathy for that fan base. 3 generational QBs back to back? Are you kidding me?
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) August 25, 2019
Jacoby Brissett is Indianapolis’ new starting quarterback.

— Louis Riddick (@LRiddickESPN) August 25, 2019
Crazy. Had Luck been drafted by a better organization, like many star prospects, his career would have been different. Battled injuries for years but it’s crazy for a QB this good to retire this young.
— Football Perspective (@fbgchase) August 25, 2019
Feel bad for Colts fans but wish Luck all the best. https://t.co/CJK3oNVMwq

Lucks decision to retire is likely incredibly expensive. I think its 12.8m in potential bonus repayment plus any roster bonus money that actually was paid this year

Haskins then goes back to Cam Sims on 3rd and 3, hits him on a slant after Sims wins inside quickly. Sims makes a good grab then secures the ball with incoming safety pic.twitter.com/vQ6twYlTPB

The #Redskins WR's have been scrutinized heavily this off-season, even "disrespected". I've heard them called "the worst WR group in the NFL". It is fair to say they're unproven, though. Sims, Sims Jr., McClaurin, Davis, Kidsy, Harmon...I hope they prove the doubters wrong. #HTTR
— Disco (@discoque5) August 23, 2019
Big believer in these workouts for this reason. But when u lock yourself into a deal with Richmond, can’t do it as often. So.... https://t.co/9vHDtTFs8R

If the #Redskins are going to lose Trent Williams, this might be the best option to fall back on. https://t.co/hBPVeJctOd

These Dolphins rumblings are very reminiscent of when Buffalo traded away Ronald Darby and Sammy Watkins at about the same time of year in 2017.

Made sure all of the ammunition needed to move up for a QB and re-form the nucleus of the team via the draft was in place.
Inside. Didn’t know it would be a question. Norman and Dunbar are outside.

Yikes. I don't know whether to praise Kyler for fitting the ball into that tiny window or tell him he's lucky because if either the CB or the safety were paying attention, that would've been an easy INT.

Sources: The most recent offer in negotiations between holdout Ezekiel Elliott and the Cowboys came from the team. Elliott has been offered a contract making him one of the NFL’s 2 highest-paid RB. That would suggest team offering more than LeVeon Bell and less than Todd Gurley.
