If the salary cap goes away it's never coming back, might as well keep the 50 mil/year salary rolling.

Thats not even close to being true. it was an idle threat by the NFLPA but it has no basis in reality. If theres not a new CBA, the owners will lock out the players in 2011. So its in the interest of both sides to work out a new agreement. players would want a salary FLOOR and the owners would not agree to that without a salary cap. the cap would most certainly come back whenever a new CBA was negotiated.
