NEW YORK (March 5) - The NFL and its players union broke off talks again Sunday, leaving dozens of veterans in danger of becoming salary cap casualties when free agency begins.
The breakdown was typical of the topsy-turvy negotiations - just when things seemed darkest, they got brighter. And when it looked optimistic a deal could be struck, as it seemed early Sunday, talks broke down.
"They're off," NFL vice president Joe Browne said after a day of bargaining that seemed to provide hope of an agreement. Earlier, the league had pushed back the deadline for teams to get under the salary cap from 6 p.m. EST to 10 p.m.
