The Washington Wizards and forward Jared Jeffries have been unable to reach an agreement and negotiations have been halted at this time.

"I would characterize the talks as both sides making an effort, but as of today it looks as if those efforts have been futile," agent Andy Miller said yesterday.

Jeffries averaged 6.4 points and 4.9 rebounds and while he is an important piece of the puzzle to the Wizards, the team refuses to overpay him.
