Since mattyeah was unable to finish a 2010 roster file, I'm going to go ahead and post mine.
A few notes:
Things you may not like:
CONTRACTS
I couldn't find a source for 2010 player contracts... which was fine by me, since I had planned on using it for a single season replay only. But, you will find many players with 1 year/300k contracts. Actually, if anyone can find a source for player contract info, please post it. I might add that info in the future.
PLAYER INFO
Many players have incorrect DOB, Hometown, college/draft, heigh/weight, ect... that is just WAY TOO much work. If you want to do it on your own, knock yourself out.
ROSTERS
This was my source:
http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/NFL-team-preview-Houston-Texans
....including the links to other teams. I got this info before the season, and I was able to catch of few transactions since then (Leinart to the Texans, McNiel finally signed with Chargers), but I'm sure I didn't catch them all. Also, they did not include players who went to IR... (Warren of the Pats). I did the best I could to get all the changes, but I KNOW I missed a few.
I'm including the .csv file, so I suggest before you start, take a glance at your team just to make sure you are happy.
PLAYER RATINGS
Like mattyeah did in 2009, I just did the global rating and let the AI translate the number to fill in all the specific numbers. I wouldn't even know how to rate most of the players on my favorite team, so I used madden 2011 to rate them:
IGN Advertisement (http://guides.ign.com/guides/36265/page_32.html)
to keep the game in balance, according to the FoF readme files, I used this formula:
madden CSV
99 9
98 8
97 7
95-96 6
93-94 5
90-92 4
85-89 3
77-84 2
66-76 1
0-65 0
Again, check your team. I haven't had time to do a lot of single season tests... in fact, I only did one. I just checked the standings. The best record was 14-2 and the worst was 3-13... won't tell you who it was. I did not look at any individual stats yet.
If you are not happy with the ratings Madden 2011 has, change them. Like mattyeah said, it's pretty easy to do and only takes a little time.
2010 SCHEDULE
Yeaaaaah.... nahhh. I don't know how. I wish I could. I wish you could. If you can, I will be impressed.
If there are any glaring problems you find, please post here for others to change in the future.
Finally, I think I better thank mattyeah. I may have used your 2009 file as a base. I'm not sure... I downloaded/extracted a few different rosters starting out, but regardless, thanks for the file. I enjoyed it last year. Hope you dad gets better.

csv: 2010NFL.csv (http://wikisend.com/download/231060/2010NFL.csv)
player file: 2010players.fdt (http://wikisend.com/download/968938/2010players.fdt)
I don't do a lot of filesharing, so if someone could reshare this on a better site that would be super. I think this one will expire in 7 days.
