Would Luck come back if Colts made him highest paid in NFL?

To answer the OP question, Luck's contract, when signed, made him the highest paid player in the NFL, and he retired. I don't think $2-5 million per year more is luring him out of retirement.

The Andrew Luck QB ship has sailed... .Colts need to draft a QB in the 1st round and start spending some of cap space on free agents.

They need the right guy for a QB, and there are a couple good ones right now in the NFL who weren't first round picks.

So, just for the sake of argument, what happens if the Colts draft a quarterback in the first 2-3 rounds and then Luck decides he wants to come back round about next training camp?

For the record, I don’t think that happens, but it’s not impossible either.

QB competition? there is certainly the CAP space to carry Luck and a rookie QB.

You would have Luck as the starter and then you hopefully have a quality backup if the draft pick pans out. Brissett can kick rocks.

BTW, your scenario would be cheaper I believe than if Luck just came back and we kept Brissett as backup.

This would be my choice. You take Luck back immediately and you groom the youngster for the future. See if you can get a draft pick for Jacoby.

Luck would be the starting Colts QB if he returns....which is highly unlikely. I'd say maybe a 2% chance he returns. He's now married and a father, those events are a paradigm shift in the life of a young man.
