A new story over on NFL.com

In fact, when you're reading it, there's a click-through story as well with similar (but some additional) info.

Since Rookies are at this player symposium, Luck was interviewed there.... Says all the right things...

I wish he hadn't hired his uncle to be his agent... Will he be able to fire him if he has to? Is he even a good agent?

He has experience, maybe not as a player rep but in sports management and executive decision making. And then Oliver Luck has plenty of NFL experience and connections. The rookie contract under the new CBA really should be simple. And I think the agency that his uncle got on with is looking to get into NFL representation, so they probably worked some things out in Luck's favor. They should have a lot more experience in three or four years when it's time to negotiate his extension.

I really don't know what the fuss is about. Only a little more than 1/2 of the first round draft choices have signed contracts. Under the old system, most of our draft choices didn't sign until a couple of days before camp started. Why the angst?

When Anthony Davis becomes the first overall pick tonight, Wasserman will be able to claim that it has represented the most recent number one picks in the NFL, NBA, MLB, and MLS drafts.

Honestly, I think a lot of what he learned about contracts and everything else in life he learned from his parents. Hes' friendly with Manning, but I'm not sure they're close. He's got Peyton's number, I'm just not he uses it all that often. His parents are easily his biggest influence. Among the classiest people you'd ever want to know. Everyone else is a distant 2nd.

But either way, the kid is hard wired the right way. You just don't have to worry about him. Ever. And that's one of the intangibles that makes him who and what he is, and the proper choice for the first pick and the right pick for Indianapolis.

Hey, just my.... :2c:

He hasn't met me yet, so all that distant 2nd stuff we will have to see. After he realizes how right I am about everything I think a smart guy from Statford will get the picture......

Luck eats, breathes, & lives professional football. He will be signed, sealed, & delivered in short order by mid July easy IMO.

I think he will too. I'm still not worried about his contract status at all. I only posted because it's Luck and there were new quotes to see.... no other reason or meaning.... It's Luck, therefore it's news. Even if he isn't saying anything surprising. I expect the deal to be done soon enough. Not worried about his Uncle, or about Irsay. This will get done. Period.

But, when the next Luck story surfaces, even if he doesn't say anything surprising, if I see it, I'll post.... because he's Andrew Luck.... I'm funny that way....

While Andrew is still at the helm as the Colts quarterback, hope you will find the time to fly into Indy and personally witness one of his games. There are plenty of quality hotels and restaurants, and a Circle City Mall, within walking distance of Lucas Oil Stadium.

      Practice Squad

      By Indianapolis-Colts-Fan · Posted

      The criteria is the Colts want to keep you but you’re a fringe player. It all comes down to how much the Colts like your nephew. He could surprise and if he does they may not want to put him on the PS out of fear of losing him to another team. The good thing is the Colts love their oline players, and will keep lower level draft picks/UDFA lineman over other positions. There’s quite a few later round guys the colts have kept on that have shown to be pretty good level guys with bright futures.    there’s not really any criteria for being signed to the PS other than they want to see how much better a guy can get over there.    most of the time, an older guy is either ineligible for the PS because of how many games he’s started, or it’s not worth it because you see what the guy is over what he can become (as he’s been in the league a while).   odds are the younger guy gets signed to the ps over the older guy.

      Remember all those years we watched Mannings fluttering passes downfield? 100 Int's even over his 1st 5 seasons. Not counting many Playoff interception disasters.  No flutters for AR ! Just less closing time for the D.

      I just read the article on Stampede Blue.  It’s an old clip of him dunking.     I’m pretty sure they told him not to do that during this time.  He did say he’d be throwing with the guys.

      Practice Squad

      By JMichael557 · Posted

      I am always impressed with the knowledge on this forum so I thought I would ask a question about the practice squad as opposed to trying to figure it out on my own.   We have a UDFA Dalton Tucker on the OL (Guard Tackle) Currently listed as 3rd team behind Q and Stills. He is my nephew-in-law and a great young man. He is a good OL with a lot of flexibility or otherwise the Colts would not have signed him. However would be a very long shot to make the team at this time due to the returning player and two OL draft picks.  The question is how many OL do we normally keep on the Practice Squad and what are the criteria? In all my years of following the Colts have just not paid attention to the details. If it came down to Stills or Dalton for the PS is Stills or Pinter eligible and would you put a more veteran player on the PS or would you prefer a younger player assuming you thought he could develop? Pay-wise do all PS players get the same? I also understand that PS players attend home games on the sidelines and practice with the team since they are designated as practice squad. Any information is appreciated as I will be following this aspect a lot closer this fall.

      I thought he said he wasn’t going to play BB?  How old is that video?
