 Williams' agent denied this, saying that the Buccaneers' offer was for substantially less than several quarterbacks make, was less than what his client Joe Namath had received from the New York Jets in 1975, and that the Buccaneers should be embarrassed by it.Williams made two different salary demands during the negotiations, raising his demands when hearing about the salaries paid to Dan Fouts and to rookies John Elway and Tony Eason.The team made a second offer that was described by negotiator Phil Krueger as comparable to that paid to Atlanta Falcons quarterback Steve Bartkowski.
