Gene Upshaw Deal Quotations

We're running out of time. I'm at my bottom line. I have nowhere else to go. I've said for years that the only thing that would prevent us from getting a deal was if one side gets greedy. Well, they've gotten greedy.

Once we get to the league year, I don't see us getting a deal done any time soon. We're taking the position we're not going to get this resolved, so you should go ahead and do contracts based on that.

There obviously will not be a cap beyond 2006. So if anyone expects me to make a deal to sell the players on making less money, I'm not going to do that.

I am not going to accept a deal just for the sake of having labor peace. . . . The deal has got to be fair.

I don't see us getting a deal done anytime soon.

The longer we talked, the further apart we got. Nothing happened for us to make a deal today.
