Football is in his DNA. It is his identity. Brady has played the game for over 40 years. It’s hard to walk away from who you are, especially when you are still playing at a high level. You should know this, Peter.
How many old multi-millionaire lawyers do you see still practicing? They obviously don’t need the money or notoriety. The law flows through their veins. It’s giving something up which you’ve done your entire life that is hard.

Brent, not saying I don't understand it, but when his wife has been pleading with him for years to stop risking his health, and it's obviously very hard on her, vis a vis her it does become selfish IMO. He clearly is not putting his family/marriage first. Honestly, and this is just pure speculation, I think given an ultimatum by her he would choose football. Hope I am wrong.
