Now-former Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck shocked the football world on Saturday night by announcing his retirement from the NFL, citing a lengthy and difficult injury recovery that drained him physically and mentally. His exit from the league at just 29 years of age is a shock to the system for maybe every single team, especially the Colts.
What does this mean for the New Orleans Saints? The immediate concern is a Week 15 game against the Colts in New Orleans, which will now see Luck’s backup, Jacoby Brissett, under center. But that game is months away and Brissett himself could be unavailable.
