That was years ago he sent that email. A lot has changed since then - he became the GOAT with two more rings, his wife is starting to speak out, his body is older and has taken more punishment, etc. And we don't know if he continues to feel that way, especially after giselle's comments. His heart might be willing but his body and his family might be telling him something different.
Besides, playing on the pats until he's 45 is not solely up to him. Pats have to want to keep him around until that age too.
Plus after he wins the next Superbowl, he may listen to his wife and retire relatively healthy.
I am sure his defamation lawsuit against the NFL* won't consume too much of his time, so he'll have plenty of time to relax and enjoy his life.
