Because usually contracts are backloaded, with huge portions of the salary dumped at the end of the contract - if the player is old or declining, the team can just cut or trade him in order to avoid paying that money.
A good example is Eric Hicks, who was cut yesterday because he's being paid 4 million dollars to sit on his ass basically.
The signing bonus is just negotiated on and agreed upon by the player, his agent and the team.
