Quote:I guess I don't understand how the Jaguars can structure a tax incentive contract when taxes are not considered in the contract. Mack still pays state taxes in the states he plays a game in. I am uncertain how the London game(s) work out.

 

I do understand the lack of state taxes being an incentive, but I am suspicious of a 15% difference without seeing the breakdown of the numbers. The Jaguars players still play six games in states that collect takes from them for the most part.

Actually they can't. Taxes are Taxes and you are correct.

In the chess game to acquire Mack, there will be a contract offered.

The Browns have the chance to match or no.

In between there there is the agent talking to the Browns.

I do not propose to know what all goes on, and at the end of the day the agent gets his percentage.

However if the contract is difficult for the Browns and they are being told that the player would be much happier elsewhere and taxes are part of the conversation.

Again all this is conjecture, the fact is that the player will have a much lower tax liability elsewhere, the Browns know that, the player knows that and the chess game continues.

 

Admittedly the Browns hold the Ace of trump, it's the cost and effect of throwing that card they have to live with.
