Really though even the good ones get stung in free agency. Treliving got burned with Brouwer and I'm not so sure how good he's feeling about the Neal contract. UFA is generally bad for business but teams with holes get so desperate for the quick fix that it drives the money and terms high for players on the decline of their career. The NFL does it right here as guys in their 30's get maybe one or two years guaranteed max and have to go contract to contract in their declining years.
