History

Historical Context

The 2011 NFL collective bargaining agreement (CBA) marked a significant shift in player contracts and salary structures, following a 130-day lockout that began in March. This agreement, ratified on August 4, 2011, provided players with increased benefits and a rookie wage scale, allowing teams like the Green Bay Packers to strategically sign players such as Skyy Moore to enhance performance, particularly in special teams.
