It's being speculated that Drew Dalman is retiring because he saw, first hand, the long-term effects of playing in the NFL. His father is Chris Dalman who played 7 seasons with the 49er's in the 90's.
But the timing of Drew's retirement is surprising, as Drew made the Pro Bowl last year for the first time.

Don't send Brandel over there, he'll end being All Pro.

$25M in career earnings is a ton of money but he had another $12-15M coming this year so nothing to sneeze at, even for him. Unfortunate for the Bears but good for him for making a probably very difficult decision to step away.

Does Ben Johnson hate that position? Last year it was Ragnow, this year Dalman.
And yes I know Johnson wasn't with Detroit when Ragnow retired. Just thought it odd.
