Decline? One may, after retiring (4,3)

I believe the answer is:

drop off

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'decline?' is the definition.
(dropping off is a kind of declining)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for drop off that I've seen before include "Fall < or crash" , "Fall asleep" , "Decline, decrease" , "delivery of goods" .)
