err, get real, tactic doesn't mean same $$$.  We may be able at this point to package an extension with the next 2 years.

...but why would you, knowing the volatility of the position? A lot of wear and injury can happen between today and 2026.

Part of the reason why a lot of RB aren't making big bucks is that they are fairly easy to replace. Not saying that Etienne is a commonplace RB, but in two years if we run his legs off or he gets one wrong hit low we may be looking at a much different Etienne then we are today.

With his position (not him, necessarily), you wait until the eleventh hour to do the deals.
