The Vikings and the agent for cornerback Antoine Winfield have been trying to negotiate an extension to Winfield’s contract, which expires after the coming season.

Those negotiations, ongoing for a couple of months, have stalled.

Winfield’s agent, Ashanti Webb, said this morning that they are not negotiating any longer and “no further negotiations are planned.”

The Vikings signed their other starting corner, Cedric Griffin, to an extension this spring.

The halt to talks doesn’t mean Winfield will necessarily play out his contract, however. This is the same thing that happened with defensive tackle Pat Williams a couple of years ago, and Williams signed in training camp.
