It really only makes sense for the bigger contracts of the league which only the big markets can afford anyway, no point in giving them any more money back if they want to sign a health risk.
Is this because you don't understand it? Because it's not a lot of extra work. As I said, I'm willing to create an Excel calculator. It would be as simple as downloading the calculator and entering in the contract and insurance percent information. Something like....
Years Left In Contract: User enters number
Yearly Salary: User enters number
Insurance Amount Desired: User enters percent (20, 40, 60, etc...)
Insurance Length Desired: User enters number
Insurance Premium: Excel Auto-Lists Price
Injury Amount: User enters number (7, 14, 21, 28, etc...)
Team Reimbursement: Excel Auto-Lists Price

If a premium and the reimbursement is a certain percent , then long or short contract, high amount or low amount it'll be the same. It'll just have a bigger counting effect on the larger contracts. Really whether it's more useful for larger or smaller contracts is personal preference.
