Dissatisfied with contract
Baltimore lineman challenges Rozelle rule
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Pro
football lineman John McKay Wil
liams testified Tuesday that the Bal
timore Colts were demanding
ridiculous terms when he asked to
be traded.
Testifying in U.S. District Court
in a challenge to the National Foot
ball League’s Rozelle Rule, Wil
liams said his agent. Bob Wolff, told
him the Colts sought two first-round
draft choices in any trade involving
him.
Williams, now an offensive
guard-tackle with the Los Angeles
Rams, is one of 16 current or former
NFL players suing the league,
Commissioner Pete Rozelle and
club owners.
The plaintiffs contend the rule
violates the Sherman Antitrust Act
and empowers club owners to un
fairly hold players in “bondage.”
The commissioner has authority
to dictate compensation to a club
losing a player when two teams can
not agree to terms.
Williams, who played with the
University of Minnesota, signed a
three-year pact with Baltimore as a
first-round draft choice in 1968.
Williams said the contract called
for $24,000, $26,000 and $28,000
plus a signing bonus of $50,000.
The 6-foot-3, 255-pound lineman
said Colts official Don Klosterman
proposed a new pact of “something
like” $31,000, $33,000 and $35,000
with no bonus for the 1971-73 sea
sons.
But Williams declined. “I felt I
was worth more, and that was unac
ceptable to me,” he said.
Williams could not work out a
contract with Baltimore owner Car-
roll Rosenbloom and played out his
option year in 1971 at a 10 percent
cut from his 1970 pay.
Williams said Wolff did most of
the negotiating for him in 1971 and
1972 but reported frustrations in
trying to arrange a new agreement
with the Colts or a trade when Wil
liams became a free agent.
The New England Patriots were
willing to pay $45,000 each year of a
two-year contract, plus an $11,000
bonus, Williams said, but he quoted
Wolff as saying:
“The Cojts were asking for
ridiculous compensation and the
Patriots couldn’t come up with it.
Williams said he understood the
compensation to be two first-round
draft picks.
Rosenbloom left the Colts and
acquired the Los Angeles Rams in
1972. Klosterman joined him there,
and within weeks Williams went to
the Rams for a first-round draft
choice.
Williams testified that Kloster
man asked him at Los Angeles,
“Why do you think we didn’t sign
you at Baltimore? We wanted you
here."
Williams said he signed for
1972-74 at $38,000, $40,000 and
$42,000 with a $10,000 bonus.
