In today's article on Moss, Mike Reiss states the following:
This does not prevent a Moss extension now, though does it?
I know you can't restructure a contract twice in a year, but I've always thought you can negotiate an extension at any time, as long as the cap number for the current season doesn't go up. Reiss' blurb seems to intimate they can't extend Moss until the offseason.
The Patriots can sign Moss to an extension as long as they keep his 2007 cap number the same, correct? Isn't that what they did when they extended Seymour?
According to the NFL's collective bargaining agreement, a player cannot renegotiate his contract more than once in a one-year period if it will cause an increase in his salary. So in Moss's case, if he hoped to sign an extension that would increase his salary, it would have to come after the season.
