Steelers to Set Their Own Salary Cap

Even though the 2010 NFL season is going to be uncapped, the Steelers have decided to set their own salary cap.

Steelers Dir. of Operations, Kevin Colbert, said "We will operate as we always have. We will operate as if we have a cap. You don't know what you're going to be dealing with. First of all, no one's been in an uncapped year since 1993, so it's a whole different era and no one knows how this will play out. We don't know, if there is a new [labor] deal at any point, what the new rules are going to be".

I believe most teams in the league will take a similar approach. Nobody knows what the future of the NFL will look like and the two sides (NFL & players) do not appear anywhere near a new labor deal. The off-season will likely business as usual in Pittsburgh.
