San Diego Chargers safety Eric Weddle has revealed that he has not been offered a new contract by the team, contrary to recent reports.
The 30-year-old's current deal runs out at the end of next season, and he admitted that he doesn't expect to sign a new one.
Weddle said in a statement: "Contrary to what has recently been said by upper management, there has never been any financial numbers discussed and the Chargers have never put an offer on the table for us to consider.
"It is obvious to me I am not part of this organisation's long-term plans. The NFL is a business, and I can accept that. I just wish the organisation had been upfront with me from day one."
The eight-season veteran is "looking forward" to the new season, but he told the team that if they don't offer him a new deal soon then he will not speak to them in the future.
He said: "From a contract standpoint, if we do not agree to a multi-year extension before training camp, I have instructed my agent to not speak to the Chargers again.
"I will give this team everything I have this year and head to free agency in 2016. This will be the one and only time I will discuss my contract, and I look forward to focusing on football."
Weddle joined the Bolts in 2007.
