At the end of the day, there is a salary cap. And thus there is a finite amount of cash for the players to split. If they succeed in getting paid more in the early years, then they can expect less in later years (or shorter careers).
This is why these guys want to get paid. Teams aren't and won't be paying older players big FA contracts anymore. They have to get paid now. Its happening in other sports too.
