Of ****ing course. Shit, signing Poe now will be cheaper than if we wait until his rookie deal is over. But once again, it takes two to agree to a deal, and players don't have a ton of leverage negotiating before free agency. That's why they usually wait until their rookie deals are over and they're about to enter free agency to sign a LTD. If you're elite or close to elite, unless the team is throwing a boat load of money at you, there's no reason to sign a contract before you're a free agent.
