Havenstein was playing well when they extended him and he's a victim of recency bias. He's played well 3/5 seasons.

Gurley was playing well the year he got extended. Knee issue came later

Cooks was extended right away and proceeded to have 1300 yards. Concussions came later.

I never thought Hav should have been extended. He's hit or miss as far as performance and as zn has pointed out several times, RT are the easiest to replace on the line. It was never a great idea to pay him $7.5M.

It's always questionable to extend RBs early. I'm sure the Rams knew they were making a calculated risk.

Good point on Cooks. No injury history prior to the extension means it was a good idea but has just gone bad due to later injuries.
