He’s smart enough to know it’s a business and that his decision impacts thousands of people. Especially the timing of that decision.
I wonder if Luck talked to the team about him mulling retirement after the Chiefs playoff game.
If he didn’t talk to the team about this until the papers got submitted after FA, the draft and other avenues the team could prepare for his retirement, then excuse me, but **** him and **** his decision to retire right before the season starts.
If he did talk to them, them him retiring at this time isn’t a bad move...what the team did with the info was irresponsible.
