Some struggles do not need to be aired in public, though. We are all speculating as to the nature of what led to this decision.

Heck, for all we know, the public scrutiny of whatever he's dealing with may be the very cause of why he decided to forego salary and step away completely, rather than try to balance professional football and personal matters. 

I understand this is a disucssion board, and there's no harm in our venturing guesses, but we should also be respectful of his right to keep his business private. If he chooses not to disclose, that should be perfectly fine. Some personal matters do not need to be broadcast.

Yeah, because in the grand scheme of things, that is so important.
People in the public eye are a little different. You give up privacy when you do this.

I'm not saying needs to go into details, his statement is plenty clear.

The ownership stuff is if he recovers, he can take a role to help others who aren't dealing with it.
