	Joe Theismann
		Theismann was drafted by the Dolphins in 1971, but in a last-minute decision, signed a more lucrative contract with the Argonauts.
		In Toronto, Theismann led the Argos to the Grey Cup final where he told reporters the Grey Cup was bigger than the Super Bowl, was named an all-star on two occasions and became one of the most popular athletes in Canada.
		Theismann received a $50,000 signing bonus and $50,000 a season in the three years he played in Canada -- not much less than Printers' base salary of $52,000 last season -- but the swashbuckling rookie quarterback took the Argos to their first Grey Cup appearance in 19 years in his first try.
