Colts GM Chris Ballard Bothered by Andrew Luck Retirement Leak; Source Unknown

Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard is not pleased Andrew Luck's retirement plans leaked before the quarterback was ready to make the announcement.

"It bothers me, I'd be lying to you if I said it didn't bother me," he said, per Zak Keefer of The Athletic. "But that's been hard to track down."

On Aug. 24, ESPN's Adam Schefter cited a source and reported Luck was retiring and "mentally worn down, and now checking out." Schefter also noted there was a planned press conference the next day, but Colts fans booed Luck as he exited the field from a preseason game following the report.
