Going back to our roots in today's episode of Historically Athletic! With all the current NFL offseason transactions going on, we thought this would be a perfect time to discuss the history of the NFL Salary Cap and how franchise's handled player salaries prior to the addition of the Salary Cap in 1994. We hope you enjoy this historical portion of our series.
