The Washington Commanders may have violated the NFL’s tampering rules when they reportedly inquired about retired quarterback Andrew Luck's interest in returning to the league.

Luck, who retired in 2019 with three years remaining on his contract, would remain under contract with the Colts if he were to make a return to the NFL.

The Commanders did not make contact with Luck or his agent, but Indianapolis hopes to clarify whether Washington spoke to a third party and if that would constitute a violation of the NFL’s anti-tampering policy, per the report. 

On Sunday, Colts owner Jim Irsay issued a blanket statement warning any team from contacting Luck about a potential NFL return. 

"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," his tweet read.
