I don’t follow the NFL and didn’t pay much attention to this story, but did Luck explain his timing? You retire at the end of a season or in off-season to give your team time to make whatever adjustments they can. Doing it now is entirely unprofessional. It’s a cheap shot to all of Luck’s teammates.
A cheap shot by his teammates?
Not if Luck’s teammates were behind it...
It’s a business and he owes them nothing.
How often do teams make hollow promises to players?
Maybe his wife being pregnant changed his perspective.
He's been dealing with his latest injury - which the team has been deliberately cagey about - since April. I guess he's just had enough.
He’s injury plagued. Looking like he’s not getting on the field this year anyway. This at least gives them some cap space.
