History

Historical Context

The NFL's financial landscape transformed significantly following the 2020 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), which increased players' revenue share from 47% to 48% starting in 2021. This shift, alongside the league's expansion to a 17-game season, led to record player contracts, such as Dak Prescott's $160 million deal in 2021, reflecting the league's collective revenue exceeding $12 billion.
