I don't know what you call that, but I won't be at all surprised if Hudler does something similar. And if he chooses the money, that's okay too.

Players say that all the time. It's standard PR. Every player and every GM in the league say pretty much the exact thing in public after they sign a contract. I suspect what goes on behind closed doors is very different.
Remember, the real negotiators are the agents. Players give up a big chunk of their earnings in order to have these hard-ass negotiators fighting their corner and getting them more money.
