Unless the "iffy" option holds actual negative value (and I assume it doesn't) it's still the best option because the overpay is negative value and the do nothing is lost opportunity cost (the value of the iffy offer). Remember we're talking about an overpay on an extension here... not fair or only marginally surplus value... the calculation would different on that.

There is a 4th option which is sign him to an extension at market value or even an extension where he outperforms the contract. That is a very appealing option. Not sure why one would think it is an overpay.
