History

Historical Context

In 1992 a jury ruled Plan B illegal, prompting owners to negotiate a new CBA. The spring-1993 agreement gave players unrestricted free agency after four seasons and lifted 1993 salaries by about 38 %. That framework lets veterans like 30-year-old linebacker Jamal Adams sign multi-year deals with the Minnesota Vikings, a move orchestrated by GM Nolan Teasley.
