While it is still too early to tell if the 2010 NFL season will be an uncapped year or not, I thought while I had the numbers pulled up, I would list the top 10 players who would count the most against a salary cap in 2010 if we have one. The figures are not exact, but should be pretty close. Aaron Smith, Ike Taylor and James Farrior are 3 players who may be under scrutiny if the Steelers do indeed have to worry about a cap number. Taylor will be in his final year of his contract as well in 2010.

POS Player Estimated 2010 Cap Hit
QB Ben Roethlisberger $12,250,000.00
SS Troy Polamalu $8,295,000.00
LDE Aaron Smith $6,600,000.00
LCB Ike Taylor $6,530,000.00
LT Max Starks $6,420,000.00
OLB James Harrison $6,355,000.00
WR Hines Ward $4,850,000.00
TE Heath Miller $4,699,000.00
RDE Brett Keisel $3,925,000.00
ILB James Farrior $3,825,000.00
