History

Historical Context

The NFL's 2011 collective bargaining agreement established a salary cap of $120 million, allowing teams to invest significantly in player contracts. This followed a contentious period marked by an uncapped 2010 season, where teams like the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins faced penalties for overspending.
