Who had the first 100 million dollar contract in the NFL?
Brett Favre had the first 100 million dollar contract in the NFL when the Green Bay Packers gave him a 10-year, 100 million dollar contract in 2001.That is a complete lie and whoever wrote that is just making that up completely from their head. If Brett Favre had a 10 year contract with the Packers in 2001, that means he would be there until 2011, which he left a while ago.....He retired and was on the reserve retired list for the Packers when his rights got traded to the New York Jets for a conditional draft round pick. When he retired from the Jets he asked for his release, and that is how he was able to sign a new two year contract with the Vikings.
