NEW YORK (AP) - Broad
way Joe is on his way to Holly
wood. Well, almost.
The New York Jets’ con
troversial 33-year-old quarter
back and the Los Angeles Rams
of the National Football League
have agreed tentatively on a
renegoiated contract, the New
York News reported today.
However, there remain two
minor obstacles to be ironed out
by the teams. First, a Namath
deal must be approved by
Rams’ owner Carroll
Rosenbloom.
Second, and more impor
tant for the Jets, there is the
compensation issue for Nam
ath’s services.
The Jets would prefer a play
er to a draft choice for Namath.
But General Manager Al Ward
has said the Jets “will not be
difficult” in any deal for the

flamboyant signal-caller.
Don Klosterman, general
manager of the Rams, con
firmed Monday that discussions
were “productive.”
“We got the information we
wanted and there is interest on
both sides,” he said.
The breakthrough in the long
rumored deal came when Nam
ath and his agent Jimmy Walsh
agreed to sign a contract calling
for about $200,000 per season,
some $250,000 less than Namath
made with the Jets last season.
It is believed Namath would be
able to make up the difference
through movie and television
work.
Namath is in the option year
of a two-year contract. If the
Jets and Rams cannot conclude
this deal, then the Jets would
have the choice of picking up
Namath’s option year.
