His primary motivation to stop playing is that he's older, win enough cups and doesn't want to do it for $1M a year. That says nothing about his character.
He's also not faking an injury. Again, this isn't binary. It's probably not pleasant, and if his heart wasn't in it, not worth playing through.
If this was the last year of his contract we'd hear nothing about his skin issues
