We have all seen players performance drop off after getting paid. Imagine what would happen if the money was fully guaranteed?
Currently, if the player drops off you have to suffer through it for a year or two depending on how the contract was structured and then cut the guy. This could keep a guy motivated and maintain some leverage.
Fully guaranteed means you ride it out for the full length of the contract, destroying your team for years.

That will happen a couple times before teams stop offering long contracts to players other than QBs. You will see contracts go to a shorter time for less base money but more incentive money.
