Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay took to social media to issue a warning to other NFL teams — hands off Andrew Luck.
Irsay issued the tampering warning in the wake of a story published Saturday that the Washington Commanders in 2022 made attempts to gauge the quarterback’s interest in returning to action.
“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,” Irsay posted to Twitter on Sunday night.

Luck, 33, shockingly retired ahead of the 2019 season with three years remaining on his contract. He was 29 at the time. The Colts still own his rights should he return to the NFL, something he has insisted he would never do.
Luck was born in Washington, D.C.
