A) They can already get guaranteed contracts. Most players simply do not have the negotiating leverage to demand them.
B) The ones that don't have them, effectively get them via signing bonuses anyway.
If players want those guaranteed contracts, they can kiss those massive signing bonuses goodbye. If salary is guaranteed over time, it's just gonna get culled out of the signing bonus anyway. Ultimately it's a matter of accounting tricks and nothing more.
