I really think the main source of negativity about the decision is the scenario where he says "here's what I'll take to re-sign", the team says "ok here you go, here's what you asked for" and he says "Oh wow I didn't think you'd actually... nah, you know what, I'm still out".
Pretty reasonable to respond to that series of events negatively. You can sign where you want but don't jerk the organization around.
