Go to the AI options tab under league setup. You have to go to global options. Default settings are
Ratings weight 40%
Current year stats weight 40%
Previous year's stats weight 15%
2 years ago stats weight 5%.
As you will notice this setting means the AI looks at current year's stats as heavily as ratings. This is great in July for deadline trading but sucks for early extensions.
To fix this you might want to try something like this.
Ratings Weight 40%
Current year 20%
last year 20%
2 years ago 20%.
This, I assume, would make the AI evaluation based on the average of the current year and last 2 years. Here is the rub with veterans often the last 2 years are more important than the current year. With rookies the current year is often more important. So you can iron this out for mid career players and throw rookies a little out of whack due to lack of stats.
Alternative, ratings could be more important. I believe the game uses true ratings here and not scouted ratings.
You could try something like
Ratings weight 60%
current year 0%
last year 30%
2 years ago 10%.
This would put no weight on the current year. Great for April and May but it could lead to some weird trades in July.
There are some suggestions. I would suggest you play around with these numbers and find what make sense to you. You may not have to wait for a patch to fix this problem.
