West Coast Trip Costing Cam Over $200K

Welcome to California!

Quote

Panthers quarterback Cam Newton doesn't live in California, but he's going to be playing a lot of taxes there when Uncle Sam comes calling in April.

The Panthers' decision to stay out west after the team's 35-32 loss to the Raiders on Sunday is going to cost Newton more than $200,000 in taxes. Under California law, any athlete who works in the state can be taxed on the income they earn while working there.

By the time 2016 is over, Newton will have played three games in California, which means three game checks will get hit by California's state income tax of 13.3 percent.

First, Newton and the Panthers played in Super Bowl 50. That was followed up this season by the Panthers game in Oakland against the Raiders. The Panthers also played at Los Angeles in early November. That means Newton will be paying some serious taxes for a three-game swing where the Panthers went 1-2.

Certified public accountant Robert Raiola told ESPN.com that he estimates that Newton will have a total of $220,000 in taxes withheld from his paycheck for those three games, which means that's one less fun hat he's going to be able to buy thanks to Carolina's games in California.

lol California is broke. Needs the dues.

 

Man, paying 60% to live in Cali...let a socialist society rein.

Prop 64 should give California some breathing room and turn a few red numbers black. But then again, they may spend all that new revenue as well.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
