What your writing doesn't really align with the facts though.
Expecting a reward would have been asking him to sign him below market value. But that's not what happened. The flames offered him above market (there by showing zero expectations of expecting a favor) and the player still held out for more. He literally signed for substantially less to play somewhere else.
What's the old fashioned word for that? I think it's called a bit of "biting the hand that feeds you" and a bit of "looking a gift horse in the mouth".
