Because players would rather sacrifice those first couple of years of free agency so they are only making about 40% of their actual worth instead of maybe 10% in some of those early years.
Bloodbath coming. What would teams want in return for losing a couple years of dirt cheap labor? Some kind of max salary? Or do you take the opposite approach...blow up the pay structure in those early years but actually allow teams to control players longer (at a higher salary)?
