Not a This Date, but Jeff Ash [re]tweeted a few tidbits on the Ice Bowl.







It's quite amazing that the impact of this deal didn't last longer than 15 years.





To me, this is also known as the day Sherman lost total control of Favre (if he ever had any). The WRs gave Favre A LOT of help that night.





The salary cap in '94 (the year after White signed) was $34.608 million. White got $17 mil over 4 years, with the 2017 cap being $167 mil that works out roughly $82 mil over 4 years ($20.5 mil average) in 2017 terms. Von Miller owns the fattest contract in the NFL right now at $114 mil over 6 years ($19.083). Reggie got a pretty hefty deal even by 2017 standards, it was worth it though. That's the kind of UFA you overpay for.
