The issue that led to his going to Cincinnati was not really "asking" for too much money, it's that he was already on a large contract, we demanded he take a big pay cut in the final year, and he said no. If I remember right, the pay cut was huge, something like $5-6 million in base salary. Of course, he ended up with even less money as a result of that, but he wasn't wrong that he could still play at a high level.
At any rate, I really hope we can have him back, and it would be nothing short of mind-boggling to see him still getting after quarterbacks at age 40.
