Our young g.m. appears to be dealing like the stock trader he once was. He sets what he thinks is the right price and sees if the other party will agree. He doesn't want to buy based on emotion. So far this value-based approach hasn't produced much for him, but maybe it needs more time?
Hunter likely and correctly sees himself as having one last shot at the type of big $ contract that edge rushers are getting these days. So he just needs to wait to see if some team in f.a. will give it to him. Taking Kwesi's value offer is probably the fallback position, if I were to guess.
Personally I don't think he is producing at a level that is commensurate with such a contract. I'm happy if he stays but wouldn't be surprised if he goes where the money is, because I don't think it's here.
