Players who sign four-year contracts in free agency have the exact same odds of lasting one year on the deal (23.1 percent) as lasting four years. Players on three-year contracts have roughly the same odds of the deal ending in one full season or less (34.3 percent) as they do of lasting the full term (36.2 percent). Less than half of players who sign two-year deals last two years (45.8 percent), and one-sixth don’t even make it through the first year.”

Every single contract that's signed, both the player and the team understand the guaranteed $, the outs in the contract, the potential value etc....

Its neither an advantage to the team or player unless the player and their agent are just dumb which is possible.
