Also I think he wants to have the money to pay for the care of his brother.

With the CTE lawsuits going on, if he retires due to his 5th concussion (all at the NFL level), there's no way the NFL is going to want to see the Bills pursuing that signing bonus.
This is clearly a situation where a guy with a concussion history is retiring due to said concussions. I'd imagine an arbitrator would rule in his favor either way and the Bills don't want to be 'that team' when dealing with future potential FAs.
I think he could walk away if they get 4-5 weeks down the road and he's still dealing with concussion symptoms.
