History

Historical Context

In 1992 a jury ruled Plan B illegal, prompting owners and the NFLPA to settle for nearly $200 million and sign a seven-year CBA on March 1 1993 that introduced unlimited free agency after four seasons and a revenue-based salary cap. The agreement lifted 1993 salaries by 38 percent and set a precedent that still forces teams to weigh big contracts against roster depth and injury risk today.
