Past Eckstein Award winner Ian Gold yesterday signed a 5-year contract with an estimated worth of $30 million with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With the contract Gold becomes the NFL’s highest-paid gentile-with-a-Jewish-sounding name, beating out Russ Hochstein and Rex Grossman.
The highest-paid actual Jew in pro football, however, remains Dolphins quarterback Jay Fiedler, who signed a five-year, $24.5 million contract before last season.
