How detailed are player contracts going to be? Guaranteed money? Player/Team options? Front load/Back load? Signing bonuses? Performance bonuses?

Guaranteed money (in the 3 various forms): Yes
Team/Player Options: No
Front load/Back load Teams will renegotiate contracts as and when they need to, so they could turn the Salary (or part of) into a SB to free up money now at the expense of further down the line. (obviously that method of restructuring doesn't work for every contract).
Signing bonuses? Of course, that's a bare minimum requirement for a Football GM game as far as I am concerned. And yes the prorated rules are in place as well as the prorated rules when you sign a new contract before the old one has expired.
Performance bonuses? For simplicity at the moment (not just in terms of coding but in terms of research), we have grouped all other (so excluding SB) bonuses into one. So Roster Bonus/Training Camp Bonus/etc are rolled into one general other bonus.
So for each year of a contract you'll have:
Base Salary (of which parts/all could be guaranteed)
Prorated SB (guaranteed of course)
Other Bonus (could be partly guaranteed).
