So if you just ended the 2017 season, for example, then the arbitration award is his contract for the 2018 season and your extension offer governs the 2019 season and later.

Yes, but no. Depends when you're trying to do it. I was trying to do it immediately after the arbitration award, but still during the offseason. In this scenario, the extension overwrites the existing (arbitration) contract. It appears that the game doesn't know how to differentiate the two scenarios.
