What makes you think he wanted to sign that long here? When he said (afterwards) he would have signed long term, the first number he mentioned was "5". He would have been UFA at 26.
I also think he got the max of what he was going to get as - a deal that saw him guaranteed $9M in his last year, which is what he probably wanted for his "long term" deal.
