We don't want to keep taking guys past their FA season, IMO. Especially when they've established their level of play. There's really no reason NOT to get a deal done with Creed. The market for him is established. If you don't want to play in that market, you may be best off trading him and getting started on a replacement while retaining Allegretti as an emergency option.
Creed should be an easy, if expensive, extension. Bolton is a more open question but if he would take a Logan Wilson deal, you get that one done as well.
But if you're going to keep a young core together, taking them all to FA is a rough way to do it.

Absolutely. I really would love to see both Creed and Bolton taken care of. Make Creed the highest paid center or somewhere close, but Bolton would need to take something in that 10m per year range. I love Bolton. Can't pay him like he's Roquan. I personally would like to see deals for him and Tranquill (on a 2-year deal) to return as our primary LBs.
Then, who knows. Maybe you run into a spot where you can afford to tag Sneed or Trey.
