On Thursday, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said team owners are preparing for an uncapped 2010 NFL season since negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement are at a stand still.

“Because of the timing, we recognize there’s a strong reality there will be an uncapped year, and the owners have planned for it,” Goodell said. “What the owners’ intent is is to get an agreement.”

Having a strict salary cap is what makes the NFL the number one sport in America. For the sake of the league and all of it’s fans, we hope a new deal gets done before the 2010 season.
