    He is giving up a lot of money. Doesnt sound that smart. Can't believe he didn't give the colts more of a heads up. He really ****ed them.

    I’ve always heard that once a football player starts thinking about retirement, they’re already done.

    Unless this is a ploy to play in his dad’s league...

    With the 2021 first pick in the draft.

    The Indianapolis Colts select Trevor Lawerence.

    Didn't he have a torn labrum? Or was that just a rumor? I was surprised to hear he was coming back from his shoulder injury, way back when, as I thought torn labrums were the kiss of death for MLB pitchers, so why wouldn't they also be such for NFL QBs?

    Anyway, not surprised to hear he's hanging it up, with his injury woes. Too bad, the League was better with him in it. Dispatches from Civil War Luck were funny too.

    Frankly, I expect the next major injury for JJ will also be his last one as an NFL player.

    $97M In career earnings. Probably the right call from a long-term standpoint.

    If they're still better than us without Luck that really really should be it.
