Again it depends on context. Maybe we dont want a Kylian Mbappé situation.....

where top players can leave for free or very little.

With Younger players like an Idah and Gibbs it makes sense to tie them to a longer deal.
With older (higher paid) players not so much.
Gibbs might not be making in 5 years what Gibson is making in one year.
