Luck Denies Ballard's Role in Retirement

0:00It's April 6th, you're listening to NFL News today, AI-powered NFL coverage. Former Colts quarterback Andrew Luck just shut down claims that the team's general manager, Chris Ballard, pushed him into retiring back in 20, 19. On his podcast, on my soul, ex Colts tied in Eric Ibron claimed Ballard got on everyone's nerves and basically told Luck, with his ankle injury, too. Say that year, or they move on, forcing the retirement call. Luck fire back in an email, saying he and Ballard had a solid partnership through the whole thing, they stay close, and any talk of internal pressure is flat out wrong. Luck stepped away during preseason that August, citing years of injuries wrecking his body in mind, and the Colts have only sniffed one playoff game. Since, they're banking on Daniel Jones now after signing him this offseason, hoping he stabilizes things and finally quits all the chatter around Luck's.
