Signing an earlier ELC also means they can strategically walk away from him if his development stagnates. The worst thing that can happen is you see positive development, sign him to his 3 yr ELC two years from now, then his play stagnates and you're stuck with a contract for another 3 yrs. By signing him now they give themselves the flexibility to walk away earlier.
Players like Brustewicz (sp?) that have a higher ceiling you can sometimes wait on because if their play continues to improve they are an easy contract to justify 4 yrs+ from now.
