It would mean doing a disservice to all other players in the league who are trying to make a living and maximize their compensation. There's not leveraging your stature minute by minute to be the highest paid player in the league (which he's done) and then there's restructing your contract to take a paycut that that isn't remotely warranted.
It would impact what other QBs are paid and that would trickle down to what other positions get as well. There's no way he wants to be viewed in that light.
