Joe Gibbs: Redskins Didn't Offer Extension


Redskins head coach Joe Gibbs is disputing a report from ESPN saying team owner Daniel Snyder offered Gibbs a two-year contract extension.

Jason La Canfora of the Washington Post reports that Gibbs said he hasn't talked to Snyder about an extension and isn't planning to talk to Snyder about an extension. Gibbs says he plans to return in 2008, which will be the final season of the five-year contract he signed in 2004.

But can Snyder get him to come back for 2009, 2010 or even longer? If Snyder thinks that's what's best for the team, you can bet that he'll back up the Brinks truck to keep Gibbs. Gibbs, however, seems content simply to coach out the contract he signed four years ago.

Then again, maybe a playoff run is what it will take to convince Gibbs that he wants to stay longer than one more year.
