Pardon me if I'm incorrect, but is there some rule where the team can't talk to it's players, however if they are free agents, then negotiation is allowed?

If the CBA talks pass the deadline then coaches and teams can't talk to players and agents period, or at least not about work? One or the other...
But since they pushed the deadline back (and probably will keep doing that until they got a deal) currently teams and coaches can take to players and agents.
So as long as they keep pushing the deadline back until they make a deal then both sides can talk.
But I read the NFL is not accepting any deals (between teams and players) after the original deadline until they and the Union come to an agreement on a new CBA.
