The team and player can negotiate any contract allowed under the CBA up until the arbitrator hands down his ruling, even if the arbitration hearing has already taken place (as happened last year with Bouma).

If they don't come to a negotiated agreement, the length is predetermined before the hearing and the arbitrator is just assigning a dollar value.
