No long-term deal is expected between the Los Angeles Rams and franchised safety Lamarcus Joyner by Monday's 4 p.m. ET deadline, though the two sides continue talking, a league source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
If no deal is reached, Joyner would be scheduled to become a free agent after this season.
Joyner has previously said he was "at a good place" with the franchise tag.
"The goal is to get a long-term deal done -- we're still in the process of that -- but I'm fine with it," Joyner said on a conference call with Los Angeles-based reporters in March.
