I don't beleive the NFL can tell any team how to sign it's contracts. However, there are rules regarding waiver-wire pickups during the season, and rules regarding cap issues. Either of these, because the timing of this pick up would be after the trade deadline, could possibly lead to a limit on the length of a contract signed at this point in the season.
But like he said - this is a forum for discussing on-field rules. Probably not going to get much specific help here on this question.
