I think we see at least one vet get an extension, but it probably won't happen until just before training camp. That seems to be when they usually announce those deals.
I think it should be Mixon. He should be easy to sign because he is just slated to make $1.2 million this year. He may think he could get a better deal next year, but most players won't risk injury playing for peanuts for the possibility of more money in the future. RBs wear out faster than other players, but we could give Mixon a new 4 year deal and he would still just turn 27 the month before the final season of the contract.
Jackson might be another option just because they have two of their top CBs just signed for one year (McKenzie and Jackson), but Jackson play last year did not justify a big new contract. I still think he is a better player than he showed last year, but not enough to give him a large extension.
I love Green, but we have no idea what he will play like this year. Even HEALTHY wide receiver start to decline at his age. He could be very good this year, or he could struggle. No way we should give him an extension.
