cashed out and won't risk further injury. More and more players will be doing this. What good is all that money if you aren't healthy enough to spend it?

You say that like it's a bad thing.
Career earnings of almost $40 mil...

That's fuck you money. Probably didn't have the performance left in him to be a HOFer after injuries, not likely to win a Super Bowl, what did he have left to play for? Understand the decision, he will have a life after football.
no brakes left

can run in a line thats it. can't stop on a dime
I read a long article about Foster a while back.

He's an intellectually engaged guy. Lots of diverse cultural interests. I think he'll be plenty fulfilled in his retirement.

HOFer? He had like 2 good years
He had 4 1/2 good years...

The likelihood that he was going to play long enough and well enough for HOF consideration was small, especially with all his injuries.

Agreed. He was always a smart and complex guy. I'm sure he has lots of plans for post-football life...
