It's important to keep in mind that NFL agents are paid based on % of the contract, and are not allowed to exceed 3% of the player's entire contract. Agents are also paid their cut at the same time as the player gets their salary, not up front all at once.

The vast majority of the time, the offset language issue is pushed by the agent since anything could happen, and every agent has been burned on a large contract due to a stupid mistake by a player. Not putting offset language into the contract gives the agent the chance to double dip as well when the player does, assuming the player continues using the same agent. Otherwise, the agent wouldn't be getting his full cut of both contracts he had to negotiate for.

First round draft picks are confident enough in themselves to accept an offset language clause. Agents like to play it safe.
