With the frenzy that is NFL Free Agency nearly upon us, I would like to take you on a stroll down memory lane; let’s enter the way-back machine and set the time dial to 1989. By that time, I had been a Steelers fan for 11 years. I was a sophomore at Temple University. Having been born and raised in Philadelphia, it seemed only logical to attend a Philly school; not to mention the fact that I was awarded a full academic scholarship to attend Temple, so that was an easy decision, but, I digress.
Prior to the current incarnation of Free Agency, there was something called “Plan B” Free Agency, In many respects, it laid the foundation for Free Agency as we know it today.
