[QUOTE="PWT36, post: 138420, member: 170"] Raider Pride posted--"The Raiders signed Ted "Kick Em In The Head" Hendricks when you gave up on him. And the packers loss was one of the greatest Raider gains." The Great LB Ted" The Stork" Hendricks came to Green Bay in trade with the Baltimore Colts in 1974 for the Packer's LB Tom McLeod and a couple of draft choices. Ted only played for the Packers in 1974 which was his option year on his contract. In the 1975, He signed a huge contract for that time ($100,000 ?) with Oakland Raiders. The Packers being one of the poorest teams in NFL at the time, could not even dream to match the amount Al Davis of the Raiders paid Ted Hendricks. I don't know where Raider pride got his information concerning Ted Hendricks but he is "dead wrong" in his post on this topic of Ted Hendricks. The Packers would have loved to have signed Ted He ndricks in 1975. Prior to coming to the Packers in 1974 Hendricks was a great linebacker for Baltimore Colts, who didn't want to pay the money Ted wanted to sign a new contract with Colts , so Colts traded him to the Packers in his option year . The Packers hoped to sign Ted to a new contract in 1975, but Al Davis of Oakland Raiders step in and out bid the Packers and signed Hendricks. In 1974 Ted Hendricks step in and played left LB 14 games for the Packers and blocked 7 kicks as a "Special teamer" for the packers. . The Packers received no draft choice compensatition for Ted Hendricks from the Raiders, since Hendricks played out his option year and had no contract with the Packers. There was no limited free agency in 1975. There was no free agency of any kind in NFL until 1993, when "competitive balance" with free agency and salary cap was established. So it was really all about money in NFL, even in 1975 as it still is 2007!! [/QUOTE]
