I expect that Thornton signed that contract because Wilson approached him and said "We're done. Here's what's left." It is not up to any player to plan his team's budget accordingly.
And ultimately, this ends up being about Thornton not wanting to leave SJ. He is rooted, and he is not going anywhere. He will happily play so long as there is room, but I am quite certain that the day the Sharks move on is the day he is done playing hockey.
