Football outsiders I think it was did a deep dive on it last year after CMC got his contract and it basically shows there were one or two outliers, like AP who still tore his ACL, but the large majority flames out within two years of signing their second deal.

They flame out as they age and get more carries. It has nothing to do with their second contract. The more carries Mixon gets the more he's going to flame out. I just don't get why you would use that argument in order to give him more carries this year. If anything I would think you would want to lighten his load as the season progresses in order to keep him fresh for the playoffs.
