Bradshaw signed a 5 year contract with the Steelers after being the #1 overall draft selection in 1970. There was a $110,000 signing bonus that was paid over ten years and a rookie salary of $25,000 that increased $5,000 per season. The entire value of the contract was $285,000.

If the bonus was paid in equal installments over the 10 years that would put his rookie pay at $36,000 ... $25,000 in base salary and $11,000 in bonus.
