'SKINS, MOSS REACH DEAL



The Redskins have reached an agreement on a contract extension with receiver Santana Moss, according to a league source.



Per the source, Moss will sign on Thursday a six-year extension, voidable to five based upon the achievement of minimum playing time (i.e., 30 percent) in any season from 2006 through 2010.



Under the contract, Moss will receive bonuses (signing, roster, and option) over the first two years in the amount of $11 million.



We're getting mixed information, however, as to the total amount of new money. One source says that the deal carries $26.55 million in new money for the five years beyond Moss' prior deal for 2005. Another source says that the deal has only $25 million in new money, making it comparable to the contract signed in 2004 by Panthers receiver Steve Smith.



Moss, who was traded to the Redskins from the Jets for Laveraneus Coles in March, had been staying away from the Washington's involuntary voluntary workouts due to his unresolved contractual status.
