The Facts:
Burress' contract situation isn't likely to be resolved soon, according to someone informed of the progress of talks between the team and Burress' agent, Drew Rosenhaus. The person, who requested anonymity because talks are ongoing, said the negotiations might soon be broken off completely because no progress has been made and the sides remain far apart.

Burress, who has three years remaining on his current deal and is believed to be asking for about $9 million per season, has maintained he's sitting out practice because of a sore ankle, not his contract. "I'm going to move on from that," he said on Monday when asked if he thought he'd have a new deal by now. "I'm just going to go out and keep being consistent and take my game to the next level, try to be great week-in and week-out."
