Presented in this lot is the 1970 Standard Player Contract between Joe Morrison and the New York Giants. Morrison, drafted by the Giants out of Cincinnati in 1959, played his entire career with New York until his retirement after the 1972 campaign. In 1970, Morrison played in 10 games as the Giants finished 9-5 in their first season in the reshuffled NFL. This offered contract is for the sum of $31,400, and it features an addendum stapled to the back that outlines the payment plan for Morrison’s salary. The contract has been signed in blue pen by both Morrison and Giants co-owner Wellington Mara. Morrison, whose number “40” has since been retired by the Giants, inscribed his address and telephone number beneath his signature. This contract comes with a LOA from JSA (Z67415).
