I don't know the exact terms of the contract, but I assume it was for only this current deal.(the 10 year $250 million)
The Yankees couldn't just use Texas' money to give A-Rod a new contract. A contract extension is still a new contract.

an extension would NOT negate what Texas would throw the yankees way since the original contract is still in place for the next 3 yrs.
the point is that 46 mil or so is still being sent from Texas for the next 3 yrs. Lets assume ARod gets extended for 3 seasons, then he would make 27 mil a yr from 08 to 13 yet the 46 mil from Texas would be collected through 2010.
