Because the risk is why he's walking away. It's clearly health related.

So how can you take back a signing bonus or salary that's guaranteed for injury when the league has all but acknowledged that the long-term damage from concussions is real?

I'm not saying he should be awarded damages, I'm saying they can't say this would be a 'voluntary' retirement in the same sense as that CB who walked out in Buffalo or Ricky Williams just wanting to get high. This would be injury related and as such I don't see how they can take back his signing bonus or his injury guarantees.
