Default Interesting 1974 press photo



Two of our bigger names were prepared to bolt to the WFL? News to me.

July 30, 1974 -- Dallas Cowboys linemen Jethro Pugh and Rayfield Wright announced today that they have signed with the Birmingham Americans of the World Football league. Pugh will join the Americans in the '76 season and Wright will join the club in 1977. This brings the total to seven Dallas Cowboys that have signed with the WFL.
---------------------------------------------------------------

No mention of this at Wright's Wiki page. He probably could have kissed the HOF and the ROH goodbye had this happened. I wonder who the other five Cowboys were who defected or planned to. Danny White comes to mind.
