I would suggest it's quite reasonable behaviour - this is what the arbitrator said you're worth, so let's sit down and extend this thing and I'll give you a premium to this years salary to do it. Logically speaking, the longer one waits, the less inclined the player would be to extend, no?
But ultimately, above everything else, all I'm asking for is to "talk to the players agent" and find out what the expectations are. Not to ruin the game with complete and total transparency - but just to give an idea on what the player wouldn't be "offended" by - because the punitive escalators for guessing wrong are just ludicrous.
