NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith sent a memo to players and agents Tuesday, saying it is likely no new collective bargaining agreement will be reached and the upcoming season will be played without a salary cap. In the memo, Smith outlined the union's talks with the league, but made it clear he doesn't think a new deal will occur before the March 5 deadline. The NFL hasn't had an uncapped since 1993. "While we are doing all that we can to reach a fair agreement with the NFL before the start of the 2010 league year," Smith wrote, "it appears likely that no new CBA will be reached and the 2010 season will be uncapped."
