Except that, if there is football after 2010, it's likely not going to be capped. Only because with the death of Upshaw, there's no chance in hell they get the CBA redone prior to the last capped year (2009).
All owners support a salary cap system, but the big boys like Snyder and Jones aren't just going to sit on their hands this offseason simply because they haven't yet extended the CBA.
And with the economic situation what it is, there's no way to set a cap low enough to make it fair for the Buffalo's and Cincinnati's of the world that any of the mid or upper level franchise owners would agree to. So if you're those teams, you'd probably have to support no cap, because with declining league revenues, any sort of cap to the shared revenue being received would hamper their ability to put a professional product on the field.
