USATODAY: Goodell doesn't expect uncapped 2010

It seems like everyday, there more and more NFL people talking about the possibility of an uncapped 2010 and subsequent lockout, which is the last thing die-hard football fans like us want to think about. So it was a nice change of tune when commissioner Roger Goodell expressed his opinion on the matter, even if he is just singing the song he knows we want to hear.

NFL owners are formulating a strategy to begin negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement with the players' union, but commissioner Roger Goodell said Monday he expects a new deal will be in place before next March, when the salary cap is set to expire.

"I don't believe that will be the case," Goodell said when asked about the possibilities in an uncapped season in 2010. Owners opted out of the current CBA last year, which will trigger the end of the salary cap if no new deal is reached before next March.
