The New Jersey Generals were a franchise of the United States Football League (USFL).The team played three seasons from 1983–85, compiling a record of 31-25. They were 0–2 in postseason competition. The Generals were the second in the New York metropolitan area to be known as “Generals,” there having been a professional soccer team in the late 1960s known as the “New York Generals.” The Generals merged with the Houston Gamblers during the extended offseason, adding such stars as quarterback Jim Kelly and wide receiver Ricky Sanders. However, the USFL’s “Dream Team” never took the field. The 1986 season was cancelled after the USFL won a minimal verdict in an antitrust lawsuit against the NFL; the league folded soon afterward.
