Go back to the fifties and earlier. Most of the players played for a few thousand per season and some of the "Stars" up in the 15,ooo range. Go back further and they played for about nothing. The game was a whole lot rougher also. Besides it is all in the signing bonus. I would think the player would be thankfull he could command a contract in the millions.
