If they don't take this opportunity and Trump goes back to his usual strategy, he will rough them up some more and then offer them a lesser deal.

The only lesser deal I can think of is that next time Trump will demand that some candidate (thinking Walker or Jeb) pull out.

If they don't accept that, he'll to a rinse and repeat.

You’re right, next time they will have to give up some skin to get Trump to be nice to them.
