It's in-line with his comments earlier:
“Secondly, there’s other quarterbacks that come after you and it would be almost a selfish move to hurt future quarterbacks who get in a position to have a contract,” he continued. “And if you don’t take a deal that’s fair to you, then you’re also taking a deal that’s not fair to them and you’re setting them back as well. So there’s different reasons. You just do the best you can.”
He also said:
“And frankly, once you sign the contract, there’s no law saying you can’t re-negotiate,” he said. “If you signed a deal and you end up coming away from two seasons saying, ‘Hey, not only did we not win, but I think the reason is that I’m taking too much,’ then you can always talk about changing that, but I don’t a need to do that on the front end.
“If you can win football games and play well and play at a high level still making a fair number, then why do you need to predetermine that and go down? I think for all those reasons, you want to find your value and then be able to play off of that accordingly.”

Sounds like he wants as much as he can up front and if the team suffers, he'll surely negotiate...
