Indianapolis Colts Owner Makes Statement On Alleged Tampering

In recent days, reports have emerged that the Washington Commanders have reached out to retired Quarterback Andrew Luck for a potential return (this on the heels of them contacting the Chiefs about Patrick Mahomes' availability), and that's raised the ire of his former employer.

Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay has now reacted to the report on Twitter, with a message to potential teams looking to get in contact with Luck, and while it may not have referenced Washington, it was no doubt pointed in their direction.

If any NFL Team,attempted to contact Andrew Luck (or any associate of him)… to play for their Franchise - it would be a clear Violation of the League’s Tampering Policy.

In the message, Irsay reiterated that any team attempting to contact Luck or his associates would be in breach of the League's Tampering Policy, given that Luck is still under contract in Indianapolis, so we will see if anything more comes from the Commanders report.
