Did He Get 915000 John Brodie Highest Paid
Moraga California AP. Quarterback John Brodie may have become the highest paid athlete in sports history by signing with the San Francisco 49ers. The Oakland Tribune reported a 915000 total, 250000 a year for three years plus 90000 for 1969 and 75000 in legal fees, paid over ten years for tax purposes. The Houston Oilers would split the cost with the 49ers except for 90000 in 1969. Brodie 31, earned about 35000 last year in ten seasons with San Francisco. The contract tops Donny Andersons 800000 with Green Bay last year. Willie Mays and Sandy Koufax are thought to be the top baseball earners at about 130000 a year.
