The NFL Players Association says labor negotiations broke down last week because the owners' last proposal would have made salaries a fixed cost and eliminated the players' chance to share in higher-than-projected revenue growth.

Pete Kendall, the NFLPA's permanent player representative, describes the league's offer as ''kind of the old switcheroo.''

In response, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello writes in an e-mail to The Associated Press that players were in ''a hurry to get out of the room last Friday and file their lawsuit'' and didn't offer a counterproposal.
