The Redskins extended Moss's contract by two years, putting him under contract through the 2013 season. He is scheduled to receive base salaries of $5.0 million in 2012 and $6.0 million in 2013.

This transaction created $2.1 million in cap space. It is clear that the Redskins are trying to create more cap room this year by extending key players rather than simply restructuring them.
