Namath Jets bid tops rookie pay record
Alan Namath son of Joe Namath will sign with the New York Jets for about 389000 dollars plus 100000 a year for three years and two new automobiles. Jets coach Weeb Ewbank said the team will pay more than any rookie has received. Namath, nursing a damaged right knee, expected to be ready for the Orange Bowl and possibly used if Alabama coach Bear Bryant needs him. Now in Miami for a press conference, the Jets seek to finalize terms after Namath’s path to pro football was confirmed by sources close to both Namath and Jets.
