I really, really don't get why people are siding with the employer. Do they check on how players' lives will be affected when they abruptly cut or trade them? Uh, no.
Players don't owe anyone anything. It's their life and their bodies, if they want to quit they can do so whenever they want.
I just want to be clear my only issue is the timing, while at the same time knowing he couldn't play that position without being all in.
In a perfect world he does this 1 month before the draft and doesn't tell anyone except the Colts so they could try to get a qb on the down low without everyone knowing about it. But it's not a perfect world.
that franchise has slowly died a painful death and it couldn’t please me any more than it does
what's the appropriate reaction?It’s insane that Colts fans would boo him,

The Colts don't need a QB, they have my guy Chad Kelly.

his teammates are probably saying worse stuff than the fans are, total lost season.
Is it classier to spend the season on IR? Because that’s where he was heading.what's the appropriate reaction?
why wouldn't they boo him?
it's "not classy?" we're talking about the NFL here, what's classy about retiring two weeks before the season starts?

The guy doesn't want to play any more. He doesn't really owe anything to anybody. Good luck to him in his retirement.
