Couldn’t imagine a worse thing that could’ve happened to the NFL today, tbh
Next man up. I’m surprised but not shocked, Luck is a different cat. I wish he would have announced this in the off season not 2 weeks before opening day but oh well.
When I see the 2016 Reds, I see a 100 loss team and no direction.

I would imagine he got pretty despondent after the latest injury did not respond to treatment over the last several weeks sometimes when we are at our lowest we make some choices that had we given it some time we would not have made...I think he plays again at some point.
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.

Reading some of the Colts' fans messages on the internet defending the booing is interesting. Makes me realize too many people are taking their fandom a little too seriously. Luck deserves better than the "Wine and cheese" fans in Indy.

Interesting that the Colts are not going to collect the $24 million in signing bonuses owed to them:

This is far different than what happened in Detroit with Barry Sanders.
Won't this result in a huge salary cap hit for the team?
I think this is to keep a positive relationship on the off chance he takes a year off and wants to come back.

Definitely not a miss, this coming year would have been the first time in his career he had a legit shot at the Super bowl.

True, but it still gives them a clean slate to move forward from. Luck gave it two years and it wasn't in the cards. He could have dragged it out, collected another $40M on potential alone from someone, most likely the Colts.
I find this to be a very respectable decision and gift to the Colts. It's a black mark for anyone who booed him for this. I hope Luck remembers that there ae more good people in Indiana than the ignorant yahoos that booed him.

The same fans who booed will probably cheer if the Colts do something to honor him (provided he doesn’t try to force a trade and stays in good graces).
Luck should have been far away from Lucas Oil anyways but even then how do you know when a reporter is going to break something on social media?
