So... The Packers paid him $1,650 for the 11 game 1945 season.


What Things Cost in 1945:

Car: $1,250
Gasoline: 21 cents/gal
House: $10,000
Bread: 9 cents/loaf
Milk: 62 cents/gal
Postage Stamp: 3 cents
Stock Market: 152
Average Annual Salary: $2,900
Minimum Wage: 40 cents per hour

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

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.
