History

Historical Context

The 136-day NFL lockout that began March 12, 2011 and ended July 25, 2011 forced owners to redesign roster rules and salary-cap flexibility. Those changes let teams such as the Los Angeles Rams manage depth through trades and later place star defensive end Myles Garrett on injured reserve, highlighting ongoing emphasis on medical staffing and cap strategy.
