Indianapolis Colts linebacker Robert Mathis set an indefinite timeline for his retirement on Sunday.

Mathis, a six-time Pro Bowler, is preparing for life after football upon entering his 14th professional campaign.

The veteran linebacker told ESPN's Adam Schefter he'll retire after quarterback Andrew Luck delivers him a Super Bowl ring.

Mathis helped the Colts capture Super Bowl XLI in 2007, defeating the Chicago Bears.

After securing a six-year extension worth $140 million this summer, Luck is facing another mandate from one of his longest-tenured teammates.
