History

Historical Context

The NFL established free agency on March 1, 1993, allowing players like Reggie White to negotiate contracts independently. White's landmark four-year, $17 million deal with the Green Bay Packers set a new standard for player salaries and mobility. This shift continues to influence team strategies, as seen in current roster changes by teams like the New Orleans Saints and Cincinnati Bengals.
