Basically he is scared of the long term effects of head trauma and decided it wasn't worth it. Outside of this unfortunate story, between Borland and Willis the 49ers are in massive trouble at LB.

Good for Borland :) Happy that he is putting his longterm health first good decision.

Offseason from hell for the 49ers to be sure. They're going to be a trainwreck next year.

Respect the hell out of Borland for this though, especially after he found out that he has the ability to be a legit star int he league, and he's still going through with the retirement? That's a guy who has his head screwed on straight. I hope he finds success.
