Namath Rejects WFL Offer Yet Seeks NFL Return
Joe Namath declined the World Football League four million dollar bid while leaving options open in the NFL. He noted no other NFL team bid, with the Jets reportedly offering a three year one million dollar contract. Namath spoke at a press conference in Fort Lauderdale amid a nightclub opening with ex Dolphins Larry Csonka and Jim Kiick joining the WFL. He stressed the league would not depend on any single player for success and hinted at the possibility of a Jets return if terms are right. The WFL president warned Namath signing could impact 1975 TV deals, but Namath called the decision personal and private.
