Does this mean he’s done for the NFL?

Also, when he “almost quit his junior year” was that his junior year at Stanford or in high school?  I knew he was in the Harbaugh doghouse, but I didn’t know he almost quit.

This suggests strongly to me that he’s done with the NFL, at least for now.  In my opinion, this reads like a farewell to his entire football career and not a farewell to his career in Seattle.  

On the second question, it’s very likely to have been at Stanford that he considered quitting.  I spoke with a teammate in his position group who said that Baldwin and Harbaugh particularly couldn’t stand each other and that Baldwin felt like Harbaugh was out to get him. In addition, and perhaps more tellingly, Baldwin played only 7 games and had a total of 4 receptions in his junior year.  It seems like Baldwin felt like his Stanford career did not reveal his talents sufficiently to the NFL, and he was probably right about that.
