I expect one, and the other will be discussed in the offseason.
Obviously they are both getting signing bonuses and raises this year if they are resigning early. That is normally the reason to resign heading into a season, you take more now rather than risk it to make even more later. That would be an issue if we only had 7.2 million to do it with. If both stay healthy and out of trouble their cost will only go up after the season. It makes sense to lock both up now to friendlier deals, and a good chunk of that cap will be used to do so.
