My guess is Colts would prob slightly prefer Brissett at this point, and he wouldn't be cheap either.

I have Hilton everywhere.
Wouldn’t draft the guy before the 6th round now.

he had a pretty catastrophic complication to his shoulder and was now having complications with his lower leg. I dont blame him.

Obviously Sanders meant a TON to the Lions franchise but at the end of the day, he was a 30 year old running back for a franchise going nowhere.
Luck is a QB on a young up and coming team in an era where QB's are playing into their 40's. (which will seemingly only get easier as they phase hits on the QB out of the game).
He clearly had some injury issues, but Luck could have played for another DECADE. This is nuts.

How many concussions has Luck suffered? He’s a bright guy and has made a ton of money. He’s probably looking at the big picture and wants to see his 60’s. Still a very stunning announcement though this close to the season. He was fun to watch. I wish him the best.

Don't forget Megatron. All equally as stunning. But yeah, losing a barely 30 year old QB right before the season is a bigger kick to the junk.

Remember when Irsay said Luck was “going to get him some more of these (rings)?” It just goes to show there are no sure things. Old Peyton squeezed out one more ring and Andrew never made it to the game. I feel sorry for him though. Those early years he took a pounding. Oddly, it seems like the rest of the team had caught up to him a bit and they could have made some noise this year. But we’ll never know...

I know this probably isn't what colts fans want to hear right now, but Tom Brady has played in and won more games for the Patriots than manning and luck combined for the Colts.

Nothing to add here. I'm just as flabbergasted as everyone else. I can't think of a more shocking retirement announcement...
That said, maybe he's planning on solidifying himself as the biggest star in XFL history...

When did Luck inform the Colts? This had to have occurred a few days ago and they've been discussing it, etc.
If accurate, Andrew probably should have avoided this story breaking with "mentally worn down" being a headline. That's just not a good look...one that will probably make the next few years much rougher on him than they should be.

He had to carry some ####ty rosters and has gone through a lot health wise. He's already earned enough to last a lifetime (almost $100 million career earnings, I think). Sucks to see a great talent walk away early, but it's hard to blame him.

Eli Manning forced his way out of San Diego when he entered the NFL. There were a few that advocated Andrew Luck do the same thing from Indy...primarily because of Jim Irsay. Easy to say that now, but you just have to wonder how his career plays out different elsewhere.

The game is just ending now. There will be some odd footage coming from Indy soon. Wow, even the timing of that is odd.

First of all, you DON'T retire while you're in the prime of your career! He's not even 30 yet, and he's already going to hang it up?! I really pray to God and hope that between now and tomorrow when he has the "retirement" press conference that he has second thoughts. Yeah, I know he's been injured, but I'll repeat the point I'm trying to make: Andrew Luck is in the PRIME of his career. He's not even 30 yet, which means he's in the PRIME of his career! This makes no sense whatsoever!

Just trade him away a week ago in dynasty....feel really weird right now.....
My guess is contract would prohibit it but not sure.
ETA: meaning would be too expensive

sounds like he is mentally done. Wondering if this latest injury is more serious than has been reported?

Well, I think you're forgetting the fact that he's got like 100 million in the bank, and he's a smart dude.

He’s got enough money to last 10 lifetimes. You ever been mauled by an NFL linebacker?

given Reich's links to the eagles, and the fact that the Eagles cant or won't carry 4 QBs on roster, I wouldn't be surprised to see Colts/eagles trade for a backup. Kessler, sudfeid or McCown.
I am shocked more guys don't retire early...i think you are going to see this more and more
