If more and more teams are not signing then to 4 and 5 year second contracts then they are literally devalued 

It's pretty simple

It doesn't mean they aren't 'valuable' 
It means they can't get paid like they used to - which - is - ummm - really?? Do i need to continue?

Teams being smarter about it means they are devalued and less valuable now?   You probably also think a 4 year 40 mil deal is more than if a player played on 4, 1 year deals at 10 mil a year. If they continue playing at a high level they will get paid like they used to even if its not a long term deal.  They just have to continue to produce and stay healthy
