In his interviews, Morse has made it clear that his brother is the bedrock of his life outside of football. Telling him he can walk away and provide his brother a better life than most other 'normies' isn't gonna carry much weight for him when he knows he can just keep playing, maybe eek out another 2-3 years in the league and in so doing essentially open the 'money is not a consideration' path.
Maybe you're right - maybe he'll walk away and decide that he's earned enough; after agency fees, etc... he's at probably $4 million pre-tax. That's obviously more than most will ever earn. But I just get the impression he's not wired that way. If there's a way for him to provide more at the risk of nothing but his health down the road, I think he'll see that as a risk worth taking.
I could be reading him wrong, but it's just the impression I've gotten from listening to him.

Makes sense. It's a shame for any player that head injuries force a decision like this.
