Daron Arnold is just getting started, so retirement isn't even close to being a thought on his mind. And quite frankly, he's not going to retire until either he surpasses his step-brother Aaron Donald or his body breaks down trying.
If he succeeds in finally surpassing his step-brother's level of success, Arnold is going to live the life of a star. Endorsements, movies, talk shows, the works. Lord knows he'll have earned it by that point, and he plans on living the life of comfort for the rest of his days.
Though he'll never admit it, it is far more likely that he never achieves Aaron Donald's level of success. If (when) this comes to pass, Arnold would insist on staying close to the game. Maybe he can't beat his step brother as a player, but there's more to football than just playing the game. If he doesn't have the physical capacity to become the best of all time, then he has the rest of his life to learn how to become the best coach of all time. Maybe even earn a coveted GM role and turn some team into a perennial champion. As long as Arnold has something that he can clearly claim to be better than his step-brother at, he would be happy.
