If there is to be an early extension, Mack seems to be the most likely to happen this offseason. Mack is also in the final year of his rookie contract, and because he wasn’t a first-round pick, he isn’t eligible for the fifth-year team option.

Mack took over as the full-time starter in 2018 and has produced two solid seasons when he’s been on the field. 2018 in 10 starts, he had 908 rushing yards and nine touchdowns and while the rushing touchdowns went down a bit in 2019, he eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark with 1,091.

Running backs deteriorate fast in the NFL, but Mack wasn’t exposed much to a lot of carries until last season. If the Colts want to extend Mack to a contract around top-10 at his position the contract would look in the range of four years and $30 million. Jerrick McKinnon signed a second contract with the 49ers in 2018 for four years and $30 million.
