Neat!

Bread: 9 cents/loaf
Milk: 62 cents/gal
Postage Stamp: 3 cents
Stock Market: 152
Average Annual Salary: $2,900

By the way... The Bears won it all that year.

Very neat. Thanks for posting!

Thought I'd upload them so they don't disappear. Great find.

I wonder what has changed more... The salary or how many pages the contract is?

Fourth year business law.. we spent a few weeks on the NFL CBA in the early 90's.. it was massive then and player contracts were loaded with clauses then.

One thing I would love to do is break it down again, analyze each clause and really create a scoreboard of such to which favor the owners, which the players and which the NFL the corporation itself.

Would love to see a current contract.

I'm pretty sure Zero would need to upgrade his storage if you wanted him to upload it here.

$150 a game.......players today make more then that a minute!

I wish i owned those 2 pages. Both signed by Lambeau himself. That's pretty neat!
