The Facts: Luck hasn't played since 2018, and after no one ruled out the quarterback's return immediately after his retirement, Luck's name hasn't surfaced much over the past year. But Luck is only 31. Could he still pull a Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods or Aldon Smith and return one day? Colts owner Jim Irsay doesn't believe so. "You know, I don't think so. I really don't," Irsay told NFL Media this week. "I think that door's closed."
Diehards Line:
The Colts own Luck's rights for two seasons under the terms of his existing contract. It seems unclear who they will have at quarterback in 2021. Current Colts quarterback Philip Rivers is under contract only through this season, turned 39 years old this month and is expected to need offseason foot surgery. Backup Jacoby Brissett also is scheduled for free agency in March. But Irsay now is ruling out something he said he wouldn't rule out shortly after Luck retired.
