History

Historical Context

The NFL's labor disputes culminated in a significant 2011 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) after a prolonged lockout that began in March 2011. This agreement established a salary cap of $120 million per team and introduced reforms in player benefits and safety protocols. The CBA's ratification marked a pivotal moment in NFL history, reshaping financial strategies and player contracts, including those of teams like the Philadelphia Eagles.
