Hmm, did the Steelers complain?

No way they up the cap at the last minute, that'd result in a lockout. Owners would file a grievance.

God, no.... that better not happen or else.... Then again, it would be pointless sending us into another lockout and I doubt the NFL wants to go down that road again anytime soon.

From the sounds of it, I think the teams, or at least some of the teams, and NFLPA both want it.

How much can they really get in cap space? For every million of cap space they increase the cap by, they need to free up $32 million in benefits cost. I can't see the cap going up by more than a million, maybe two million.

This essentially punishes the teams that managed their money better and shouldn't be allowed.

Yet there was special language in the new cap that let the Jets off the hook for millions of dead cap money. It will be allowed again.

A pure play to aid the Jets and Steelers

You can just hear the sigh of relief from Pittsburg and the Jersey Guidos

That doesnt sound like what is going on in this case.
It sounds like the calculation is coming out that the cap will be lower than expected. The NFLPA is upset because that will cost their members money, leverage and possibly jobs (to UDFAs) that was unexpected, and the league is trying to accomodate them as a show of good faith that they weren't trying to dupe the players into an unexpected cut.
