We already have too many old players. Honestly...how many guys pushing 35+ do you want to have on the roster for the next ~decade or so?

Hanifin is only 26 (turns 27 in January). If they signed him to max 8 years, he will only be 35 when the contract is up, which isn't bad. I wouldn't be surprised if the extension is shorter though.
It all depends on dollar amount and cap hit of course. IMO, Hanifin has been one of the better players so far this season and is just entering his prime. I'd be thrilled with an extension if the cap hit is fair.
