Quote:Imagine paying an extra 13.3% State Income Tax on a 110 Million dollar contract offered by the Oakland Raiders.

 

(Yep that 13.3% Income State is from the Socialist State of California.)

 

That 13.3% State Income Tax amounts to close to 15 Million over the life of the contract.

 

Do you think the State Income Tax will not factor in the choice of where to play for Suh?

 

Remember, Suh said, that his agent would advise him where he should play and for the most money with the best deal.

 

All these factors bode well for the Jags and their abundant cap space.

 

I seem to remember that pro athletes get income tax forms from the states where they play visiting games. I can't remember where I read it, but doesn't surprise me if it's true. If it is, then playing in California could mean being taxed at their rate AND others also taxed at the rate of the state where the game is played.

 

Ok, I looked around and found an article on it. What a mess our tax system is that such a thing occurs!

That definitely makes me think that living in an state income tax free state like Florida would play into the decision on where to sign.
