There's not likely to be a cap in 2010 and beyond. Extending Randle-El and Carter will not be a financial problem come this time next year.

This clears more space than I had anticipated would be possible from Carter and Randle-El, because they're extending (to remain compliant with 30% rule) as opposed to restructuring.

I'll withhold further comment until I see more contract details, but this points to an attempt to keep the old heads on the team around for a longer period of time.

You can not bank on NOT have a salary cap. I would imagine the sides will come together and work something out. the NFL and its owners do not want to have a NON CAPPED NFL. It would be disastrous for the smaller market teams, especially in the financial situation the country is in.
