No. Once the arbitration amount is awarded that is his contract, If you offer an extension after arb is awarded, even during the offseason, that would be for the season after the just awarded arb year. It doesn't override the arbitration award it adds another year to the contract,
To avoid the arbitration set contract you need to agree to an extension before the arbitration hearings.
This is how it works in game and in real life.
Edit: once you get this message on the day of arbitration you are committed to that contract and can only extend beyond it not instead of it. (and this is during the offseason)
