Each of those contract types are just as they sound.
Backloading, for example, will pay the player more of the guaranteed money later in the contract. Frontloading, will inversely pay them more at the start of the contract, leaving you with that player signed a couple years down the road but having more cap room at that time since more of his money will have been paid in the early years.
I think it shows how the money will break down per season anyways, when you select a contract value/length/type.

All of those options allow you to manipulate your cap space. It's kind of complicated, but for us who grew up with text based games, that type of contract flexibility adds practically another whole game just into the contract portion of the game. It's one really nice part I love about the game.
