Or maybe he really is retiring.

From what I have read, he had a 500k signing bonus, and an additional 500k guaranteed unless he played somewhere else. He probably figured he wouldnt sign for anything more than the vet league minimum and figured it was better to make 500k sitting at home than make 8-900k playing. He would really only be making 3-400k more if that is the case.
