History

Historical Context

The 2011 NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) marked a significant shift in player contracts and salary management, establishing a salary cap of $120 million and altering free agency rules. This agreement followed a contentious lockout that began in March 2011, driven by disputes over revenue sharing and player safety.
