I would say because it would have cost Colorado a lot more per year to add 2 more UFA years.
Fox won the Norris at 23. That is pretty special.

You're referring to age and term here, not UFA years specifically. And we have no idea who wanted longer term - him or Colorado.
Bottom line is that these guys are signing for the same AAVs now, with post-ELC contracts, that the top UFAs are signing for. The days of the deep discounts for RFA years are gone. Meaning UFA years are far less relevant.
