Questions about FA, Teams, and Taxes

Since several states have no income taxes like FL, TN and Texas for example, I have several thoughts and questions.

 

Would TB, Miami, Jax, Dallas, Houston not be at a significant advantage in resigning their own players and FA's than the teams in CA for instance, where the state income tax is 13.3%.  The obvious answer is yes since an $8 million per year WR contract in Oakland or SF is worth less than a $7 million per year contract in the aforementioned states.

 

This brings up several questions.

 

Why did the Dolphins offer sooooo much for Suh?

Do agents get paid based on the income taxes of the states where they get their clients contracts?

Why would any team want to go to Los Angeles if this is going to be a constant battle

Do I understand more why the Raiders always overpay?

 

It seems the majority of state income taxes range from the 4-6% range, but still better than the 13.3% in CA.

 

I might have this all wrong, if so, just have a mod delete the whole thing as I am on my way to FL

Do agents get paid based on the income taxes of the states where they get their clients contracts? No, they make a % of a players income.

 

Why would any team want to go to Los Angeles if this is going to be a constant battle.  Tons of money, like tons.  Easy to sell box seats and merchandise.

 

Do I understand more why the Raiders always overpay? Because every FA knows that they are going only for the money, not to try to win games.  They have to overpay.  This may change is Mack and Carr are legit, and they get a decent GM in there.

There was a good thread about this yesterday though.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      I think at some point you top out what God gave you.  He can use leverage via his mechanics to maximize what he has and When he pays attention to it the throws are better.    IMO as a layman a lot of it is what kind of ‘headroom’ you have. The guys who are gifted don’t have to use maximum effort to get good results and stay within themselves but they have it in reserve. They can do an arm throw for substantial distance without max effort.    I think what we may be seeing with these ‘lasers’ is a throw that Bryce puts the max effort into and does his mechanics right and has his base right and it works together.    To get to the payoff here, I think his best velocity throws take dall that whereas  a naturally gifted guy doesn’t need to go full effort to get that same velocity. I have said this three or four times over the years and it never gets picked up on but the accuracy is more consistent with an easier motion and max effort can produce less predictable location. It is a baseball pitcher thing but it applies to throwing a pass too. It isn’t that you can’t make an accurate throw with full effort it is just not as reliably accurate to the same degree. Someone said something about his pro day and that is where I saw it too. He took a little extra step on the deep throws. Some call it a hitch but I don’t see it that way because I don’t see it on shorter throws. He does it trying to get distance. I saw that and just wanted no part of it at 1.1 . That is not tne characteristic of a 1.1 passer.  He should have been at best, late first  I had him second day. Of course I am no one and certainly not a pro evaluator, it is just that he WS so easy to suss out. They must have thought they could fix him. Changing a lifelong throwing motion with the footwork tied into it is not fuging easy. Anyone that had decent success with ‘their’ way and tried to change it to get more, can tell you that.

      Sounds like a tad bit of what Josh Allen had. He would make throws that made zero sense die to his desire to make a make. Bryce also turns the ball over believing their is an unlimited shot clock in those moments. Sometimes the best play is to reset for the next one.

      See, I think one of his biggest issues is he bails too early.  His instinct has been to bail as soon as defenders get behind him and the pocket starts to close in. Taller QBs hang in there for that extra second or two and throw over guys as the pocket collapses in the QBs lap.  BY runs as soon as this starts to happen, which means routes don’t have time to develop and the field gets cut in half as soon as he runs. This last game I saw some signs of him being willing to hang in the pocket when the defense gets behind him, but that has been rare.
