The Facts:
Elbert Avery, the agent for Parker, met with Steelers negotiator Omar Khan yesterday afternoon, trying to get a new deal for the running back. Parker's contract expired after last season but because he has only two years in the NFL, he is not a free agent.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
If he does not come to terms on a long-term deal, Parker must play for a $445,000 salary this season and would become a restricted free agent in 2007. Since he can't become unrestricted until 2008, after his fourth season in the league, Parker doesn't have a ton of leverage here.
