Luck is still off-limits. Jim Irsay, the owner of the Colts, stated in a tweet on Sunday that any club that contacts the former Indianapolis quarterback can anticipate tampering issues. After reading on ESPN on Saturday that the Washington Commanders "phoned about retired Andrew Luck" during their search for a quarterback in 2022, Irsay tweeted the statement.
While still under contract for three more years, Luck abruptly retired in 2019 at the age of 29. The Colts chose to let Luck keep the entire $24.8 million rather than making an effort to retrieve signing bonus money that they could have done so. They did it with the intention of retaining him in case he made a comeback in the NFL. In the event that he does, they nevertheless stand by their contractual rights.
Nothing suggests that 33-year-old Luck is interested in making a comeback to the NFL. However, a desperate Commanders squad reportedly tested the hypothesis last offseason. This does bring up potential tampering violations, which Irsay seems completely prepared to investigate. Players who have contracts with other clubs are not permitted to be contacted by teams.
The accusation of tampering has serious repercussions. After concluding last autumn that the Miami Dolphins interfered with Tom Brady and Sean Payton, the NFL docked them a first-round and a third-round draft selection and punished owner Stephen Ross.
Whom the Commanders allegedly "phoned" in their supposed Luck inquiry was not made clear by ESPN. Irsay didn't call the Colts to ask for permission to talk with the four-time Pro Bowl quarterback, based on his tweet.
With their largest attempt to date, the Colts took Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson at No. 4 in the April selection, one of several attempts the team has taken to get past the Luck era. Nothing, once more, indicates that Luck is returning or that the Colts are still hoping for him to. Irsay, though, has no intention of letting another squad try their luck.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
