History

Historical Context

In 2011, the NFL and NFL Players Association ratified a new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) after a prolonged lockout that began in March. This agreement established a salary cap of $120 million per team and introduced significant changes in player benefits and contract structures. The CBA's implications continue to influence player negotiations and team strategies in the NFL today.
