In 1994 the NFL, under Commissioner Paul Tagliabue, introduced a $33.8 million salary cap, forcing Miami Dolphins head coach Don Shula to keep Dan Marino while cutting veterans—a move highlighted by the father-son Shula Bowl that October. That early cap-shaping strategy set a template later copied by teams such as the New England Patriots.
