Ha ha, well....doubtful, though I could see them possibly redoing his present contract to make it a 4 year deal. That would essentially give him a 2 year extension. Personally, I think he plays out his current deal then rides out into the sunset.
What's different about all this is that BR is actually stating publicly that he wants to play past his current contract. This is usually the time of the year he says he'll make a decision on his status for next season after talking it over with his wife, etc. He never talks about his future. So this is VERY out of character for him. I'm guessing letting Hayley go may have something to do with his new found giddiness.
It'll be interesting to see if he still feels that way if/when Bell leaves.
