Agent says Colts missing tackle Quinn Pitcock is retired

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle Quinn Pitcock has retired, according to his agent.

The announcement ended a week of uncertainty regarding the team’s 2007 third-round draft pick.

After much deliberation and careful thought, Quinn resolved to retire from the NFL,’’ Brad Leshnock, Pitcock’s agent, said in an email to The Star late Tuesday. “He notified the Colts of this decision last week.

“Quinn is grateful for the opportunity the Colts gave him, and he wishes his teammates and the whole organization nothing but the best going forward.’’

Pitcock, 24, could not immediately be reached for comment. He was placed on the NFL’s reserve/did not report list when he failed to show up with the teammates last Thursday for the start of training camp. He appeared in nine games as a rookie, one as a starter.

He was expected to play an important role in the Colts' defensive line rotation this year, backing up likely starting tackles Ed Johnson and Keyunta Dawson.

This is going to put Bill Polian in a terrible spot if he decides to return, wait-

Sorry, wrong team.

FFA down?

temporarily it would seem

 

[Banger]

odd...

Not really. He's retiring at the top of his game. He's not going to be one of those guys we'll remembered for staying a year too long. No sir.

Yep, its called an NFL contract. How much was he making?

Not nearly enough to "retire" on. Maybe he's going into the crack selling biz with Mikey Irvin.

 

[LHUCKS]

what conference was he from?

I see LHUCKS is back for another season of fishing expeditions.

Heck of a career.

Goodluck finding 10% of the money in the job market. He will be filpping Burgers in 2-3 years

3 years, $1.267 million, $436,500 signing bonus. So he probably ends up with about $350,000 of that if he has to pay back 2/3s of his bonus. If he goes back to living in Piqua.. that's enough to retire on.

No i dont. But he will find his one year in the NFL is more than he will make in the next decade. Because he didnt feel like playing. I dont like going to work either, most dont.. I dont think it was a wise choice but more power to him

 

[Warhogs]

We all find it strange to think about walking away from an NFL career but that is a couple of recent cases now. Was it not last year that cedric Houston walked away and went back to school to get his degree? I guess an NFL career isn't for everyone.

seriously doubt that this was a "i don't like to work i'm just going to live on my parents couch" type deal

Good for him, not everyone is made out to work at what they are good at for a living. That's why I've always backed Ricky Williams, he seems to be stuck in a football person's body and probably should have just went with what he had a passion for. Good for Quinn.

Don't be ridiculous. I don't cheer when grains escape from the mill. I want more grist!

I see no shame in his deciding to not participate in what must be a terribly painful profession.
