West Coast Trip Costing Cam Over $200K

Welcome to California!

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.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
