So at what point do the Jays say we're at a standstill, and we have to go our own ways?

I actually think the quiet is a good sign.
When sides are approaching a deadline, and they are far apart, that's when things get leaked about different asks, or how far apart they are.
When sides are actually working towards a solution and are actually negotiating in good faith is generally when things get quiet.
