Settlement negotiations between Tom Brady and the NFL were at a stalemate on Tuesday.

Brady was in New York with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to participate in the settlement talks and, according to multiple reports, initially had planned to attend a federal court hearing for the second straight week Wednesday.

But the sides "got nowhere," a source told Schefter, prompting Brady to change his mind and join the New England Patriots for their practice Wednesday in West Virginia.

Brady's attorneys filed documents Friday in U.S. District Court, alleging a smear campaign against the two-time NFL MVP and reiterating their claims of unfair treatment by Goodell and the league.

Brady is seeking to overturn the suspension for his role in the use of deflated footballs in the AFC Championship Game.
