Wilson is playing really well, and Pratt is solid too. Pratt is still under contract through next year and Wilson through 2023.
As for RB, Mixon is 3rd in the league in rushing behind only Henry and Chubb. He's also under contract through 2024.

In fairness, Mixon went on IR last year and is dinged up 4 games into this season.

The reality with big 2nd contracts for RB's is that you need to be looking to get out from under them because they simply will not be healthy enough or performing to a high level towards the end to justify the money.  You can use the $12 mil a year they're paying Mixon to fill needs in FA.

I'm not slamming my fist on the table for a RB in the 1st, but If the value is there, I don't think you can just dismiss it and say we don't need a RB.
