The New York Jets are one of those teams that every year just never seem to be in the conversation of the upper-tier clubs. For one, they are in the same division as the All-World New England Patriots and the ageless ones. And their roster rarely has any superstars or special players.
Not so in the 1960s when Broadway Joe Namath was the QB. Everyone wanted to have the Jets play at their stadium because Namath was such a huge draw. At the time, Namath had signed the richest contract in pro football history worth $427,000.
