In all honesty, I think he is retiring and this is not a ploy to get away from the Lions. His contract is such that the Lions would have to ask him to lower his cap number or outright cut him before the season. So if he truly just wanted out of Detroit, he just would sit tight and wait for the Lions to release him. By annoucing his plan to retire, the Lions can place him on the "retired/reserved" list and he wouldn't count against the cap.
