Good idea to retire him? 8 points in strength from equipment.

As for a good NT build, beside training str and agi, what are the next important attributes to train? vision, tackling or stamina ASAP? Or speed?

For an NT, you want to build strength first, then agility. Speed and tackling come next. You also need some vision to get off the line better.
If I were building an NT from scratch, I would try to roll high strength, then train strength exclusively until I could cap it. Once I can cap strength, I would switch to training agility and speed or else agility and tackling. Continue putting points into strength until you reach 68 unequipped. Some will tell you to go to 72 unequipped - not my choice but it makes sense. Once you fill out strength, then start pumping agility. Once agility is capped at 48, you put points into agility or speed, whichever is closest to the next cap. You need to train tackling along with something else. Then build agility, speed, or tackling, whichever is closest to next cap.

Yeah, I would retire him.
If you want to create another NT, I would recommend waiting until after the last regular games of the season to create a new one (which gives you the whole time through playoffs and the offseason to train without worrying about leveling up, so you get the most training time in), then get the highest strength roll possible with all 8s in the useless stats (kicking, punting, etc...).
Save all of your SPs (don't spend the 15 you start out with) until you have enough to get strength to the first cap (this will happen at level 3, possibly even level 2), training strength / tackle on intense, then dump your SPs into strength. Once you get strength to the first cap, switch to training agility / tackling and keep dumping all your SPs into strength until you get to at least 73, but I would go higher than that. I did for my NT, who now has 84 natural str at level 24.
Then you can work on capping agility, which should be trained into the mid thirties or more by this point, and your tackling will probably be in the high 30s or low 40s. Then you can go from there with a pretty solid base established.
Oh, and I would recommend turning in your 4 bonus tokens each time you get them to get extra SPs during at least your time of getting strength to the point where you would like to stop (73+). You'll want to save bonus tokens to go into AEQ upgrades later, but I think it is the best bang for your buck to wait on that in your early levels because it is more important to race to the caps while you are still getting big level up gains in my opinion.

I disagree with this approach. I think you should hold onto bonus tokens for Advanced Equipment. This way way you get into your 40's you will should have enough bonus tokens to maintain two pieces of Advanced Equipement.
In the case of a DT, especially Nose Tackle, or Center, with the amount of points in a couple key attributes you get for leveling up, spending bonus tokens to level up might be a worthwhile approach. But I don't like the idea. I recommend training your first attribute by itself anyway, not on intense, so this is not any issue for my new players.

Well, to each his own, but with the long offseasons we have been having, and the fact that it takes longer and longer to level up, you should have enough time later for storing up bonus tokens for AEQ. But, you will never get back the points you lost on level ups from taking longer to reach the caps.
Just my 2 cents.
