Don Meredith.

Meredith was selected by the Chicago Bears in the 1960 NFL draft and subsequently traded to the Cowboys for future draft picks. Since the Cowboys were not a 'formal' team at the time, owner Clint Murchison signed Meredith to a personal services contract in order to keep him from being signed by the Cowboys rivals in Dallas, the Dallas Texans of the new American Football League.
