BOSTON - A temporary restraining order against Randy Moss was extended until March 28 while the New England Patriots wide receiver was in Arizona on Monday preparing for the Super Bowl.

Moss' lawyer, Richard Sharpstein, said the decision came at a hearing in Fort Lauderdale after he learned the player's longtime friend changed attorneys. She obtained the order Jan. 14.

Rachelle Washington's new attorney is Darrell Thompson, who replaces David McGill. A spokesman for Thompson confirmed the change.

The temporary order requires Moss to stay at least 500 feet from Washington. No criminal charge has been brought. Washington, 35, alleged they had been in an "intimate relationship" since 1997.

BILLS: Nathaniel Hackett was hired as offensive quality control coach to be reunited with quarterback Trent Edwards.

Hackett spent the past two seasons in the same role with the Bucs, and was previously an assistant at Stanford during Edwards' first three years at the school.

BROWNS: Coach Romeo Crennel has agreed to terms on a two-year contract extension, his agent said.

The 60-year-old Crennel, the league's oldest coach, had two years remaining on the five-year deal he signed with the Browns in 2005. His agent, Joe Linta, said the sides have agreed in principle to the extension but that it has not yet been signed.

Also, long snapper Ryan Pontbriand was added to the AFC Pro Bowl squad.

DOLPHINS: Hired John Bonamego as its special teams coordinator, George DeLeone as tight ends coach and David Puloka as assistant strength and conditioning coach.

EAGLES: Hired Sean McDermott as secondary coach.

PACKERS: Passed over for the chance to become the franchise's top executive, vice president of finance Andrew Brandt is leaving the team.

RAVENS: Rex Ryan would have preferred to be a head coach. Instead, he got the second-best thing: His old job, a new title and more responsibility. Ryan, 45, was hired as the assistant head coach/defensive coordinator.

REDSKINS: Southern Cal coach Pete Carroll discussed the Washington coaching vacancy with owner Dan Snyder earlier this month but is no longer a serious candidate for the job, a person familiar with the selection process told The Associated Press.

Snyder and Carroll met in St. Louis "early in the process."

SAINTS: Promoted Greg McMahon to special teams coordinator and Dennis Allen to secondary coach.

STEELERS: Wide receiver Cedrick Wilson withdrew a protection order against his ex-girlfriend after they agreed to have no contact with each other and share custody of their 1-year-old daughter.

Wilson was in Allegheny County court but declined to comment to reporters. Lindsey Paulat was not in court and was being released from a behavioral health clinic.

TEXANS: Ray Rhodes was named assistant defensive backs coach.
