OK all you football heads, do you remember......
Does anyone here remember who the first NFL player was to break the million dollar contract barrier?
If my memory proves me correct is was none other than Mr. John Elway. I remember thinking that no services can be worth a million dollars unless they are saving lives or helping out society as a whole. Boy havent things changed since then. I believe it was Jerry Jones doing the "loop hole finding" in the salary cap and paying Deon Sanders to the first signing bonus that surpassed the 10 million dollar mark. Just something to pass the time during the waiting game.............. |
Wow... can't recall. Wasn't his rookie deal in '83 like $5M? He might have been the first BIG money rookie, but I can't recall. I was only 12 in '83.

Wow.... my memory seems to have led me astray, that contract averages over 2 million a year. Now I'm stumped. :hmmm: Side note I didnt know: "Elway was also a highly touted baseball prospect, and was drafted out of high school by the Kansas City Royals.." |

He's actually much younger than that. I think he's 19. I could be mistaken. He might be 18. |

I can't stand most the other kids his age. I'm gonna have to insist he come to KC for his 21st. I want to buy him a bunch of beers. |

Theres a fine line between being "old enough to remember" and being "too old to remember".
:shrug: I'm surprised that some of the older ones here dont recall the million dollar baby. :hmmm: |
My guess was Eric Dickerson.
