exacerbated by the instant "hot take" culture that sports media has become. people complaining his should've given a year's notice -- well, he kind of did. Colts know where they stand and can move on from here.

the alternative was to go on IR and spend another year deciding? which he could've easily done, and collected a nice check for it.

professional football is an "all-in" mentality and the realization you don't have that (for maybe the first time in your life") can sneak up on you in a single day.

but back to the highlighted point, yeah. lots of sports fans don't have shit else going on in their lives and assume their consumerism of sports equals ownership of its participants, in every facet.
