History

Historical Context

The NFL’s modern free-agency system began on March 1 1993, replacing the restrictive Plan B era (1989-92). That summer the Dallas Cowboys used the new rules to acquire Deion Sanders and Charles Haley for a total $30 million, illustrating how unrestricted free agents could reshape rosters. Today the Seattle Seahawks face a similar 30 % turnover, prompting strategic adjustments.
