His agent has no say other then, "I would advise you to make a better deal."
I think that he is taking a huge risk here. even though you could run him over with a Mack truck right before a game and he'd still throw for 200 yards and scramble for 40 more, he's a pretty big injury risk. If he gets a major injury, they'll just say "Steve who?" while handing him his release.
He probably figures that doing this will help the team out by giving them the money they need over the next several years to make a couple runs at the Super Bowl before they have to blow up the team. A risk, but it could pay off pretty big depending on the personnel brought in.
