That’s likely due more to the fact that long term contracts are generally only handed out to guys who are elite/top performers, and most players in their 30s are within 8 years of retirement, regardless of how long they’re signed for.
If long term contracts were actually given more often to guys in their 20s that had flashes of talent but weren’t elite/top performers, you’d see more guys on long term contracts in their 20s busting out.
