Players get offered what the free market dictates.
If they haven’t proven themselves to consistently play at the level teams need them at, but the player wants a long term deal…teams will backload the deal so it makes sense for both sides.
Also, a lot of “back loaded deals” may also include a signing bonus that can be spread over multiple years for cap reasons, and gets a big check in the players bank account.
Gotta find the right fit for the team and player to get a deal done.
