1995 führte die NFL den Salary Cap und die heutige Form der Free Agency ein. Seither darf jedes Team nur einen vor jeder Saison festgelegten Betrag an Spielersalären ausrichten, was zwangsläufig dazu führt, dass Teams, welche viele hochbezahlte Stars in ihren Reihen haben, sich von einigen von ihnen trennen müssen bzw. diese nach dem Auslaufen ihres Vertrages nicht weiterbeschäftigen können. Auch dieses Jahr sind einige interessante Spieler auf dem Free Agent-Markt zu haben, www.bigplay.ch hat alle Spieler zusammengestellt, welche am 3. März Unrestricted Free Agents werden (nicht enthalten sind die Restricted Free Agents).
