I wonder what took so long? His agent must have wanted certain guarantees.

I don't think rookie contracts can include negotiated guarantees. Outside of first rounders the only thing that can be negotiated is when the slotted signing bonus is paid. The teams prefer something like half now and the rest at some point during the season. Some agent demand that it be paid completely up front.
