How so? He's a player who wants his fair share. When you applied at your job did you just take what they were offering you even if you thought it was a little low?
An extra $3-4 million over a contract of 8 years can build him his dream house or set up his family to live comfortable for quite a while. I don't see that as greedy especially since he hasn't even missed a game yet. He's just trying to maximize his earnings. I would do the exact same thing. That's still a lot of money even to someone who is likely going to make close to $80 million over his career.
Having an extra $500,000 a year isn't nothing and I'd fight for that too. It's a negotiation for both sides, nothing greedy about it.
