rA "I'd like to see some protection for clubs giving ?injury prone? players a second chance so that some sort of ?pay as you play? contract kicks in at some point ensuring players are able to live comfortably but protecting clubs from having to fork out astronomical salaries for, in Washington and Anya?s cases, doing virtually nothing."

There is, it's called insurance

Yep, of course…fair point. I’m just not certain how far it goes and how much it costs the club.
For instance if we were to sign Ozoh again - which I’d love us to do in terms of ability (excluding avail-ability) I’d imagine the insurance costs, based on the risks displayed last season, would be huge and probably unaffordable without some (probably unlikely) flexibility on the parts of both the player and the parent club.
