Looks like the NFLPA is now filing a suit against the NFL.

The contentious relationship between the NFL and the NFL Players Association continued Wednesday when the union filed a federal lawsuit alleging that the league and its owners conspired in collusion to establish a "secret $123 million salary cap" in 2010, which under the previous labor agreement was designated as an uncapped year of spending.

I have a problem with the whole thing. Was it an uncapped year or wasn’t it? Apparently it was, but it really wasn’t. Wait, what? The retroactive penalty is ridiculous as well.

Yes, and what about the teams that used the uncapped year to do the opposite, and stay well under the cap floor? The Bucs, Bills, Cardinals, etc got a free pass for what is arguably worse than spending too much.
