Butkus Leans Toward NFL and Namath May J oin AFL
Illinois linebacker Dick Butkus seems inclined to sign with the National Football League while the American Football League makes a push for Alabama quarterback Joe Namath. Namath could receive a 150000 dollar salary bonus and a quicker path to a starting role in the AFL. Namath was drafted first by the Jets in the AFL and by the Cardinals in the NFL. The Jets, owners, and coach Ewbank show strong interest. Butkus expects to play pro ball, possibly behind Bill George with the Bears. The AFL and NFL signed several players in a banner day, with Buffalo and others adding key selections.
