On a side note, I don't buy that whole 3-4 year thing. The average is that low because of the vast amount of players who arent good enough to play for more than a season or two. I dont view these guys professional football players, they will not make a living off the NFL. Anyone who is any good (worth picking up in FA) plays significantly longer

To an extent sure. But think of how everyone is saying a RB hits 30 and is basically done. You get him around 27-28 and he's going to go for somewhere likely that offers 4-5 years top dollar, so you can end up with 3 years where you're not getting much from him potentially, then you release him and take the hit on the signing bonus.
