Fair. I guess it depends on the type of person he is and the types of teams offering him term at time of UFA.
I'm not saying he's a bad guy if he maxes dollars. He's also not a dumb guy if he leaves money on the table. It's about what he wants as a person.
I know a lot of people with lots of money that care more about their craft than the money it brings. The money is great for them, but most of it just sits in a bank account or equivalent accumulating returns they will never spend given their lifestyle. So it's nice, but the incremental value of extra money to these people is pretty minimal.
It's really hard to say what he does. Could go either way I guess.
