And just wait till Obamacare kicks in. And the Stormwater fee imposed a few years ago. On and on. The NFL might be one of the few businesses left open by these commies.

In a CB rich FA market this year I think he ends up with a smaller contract than his 2012 offer. And deservedly so. Glad he turned us down last year so he can play 15 yards off the line of a scrimmage for some other team!

Many teams this year did not fill the stadium, you hear a lot of drops of direct tv. The money keeps going up in salary and when will we get to playing rookies for three years and then letting them go. Sounds crazy but it sounded crazy giving out fines for making a tackle on the field as well.

It’s worth a try. It only takes one team.

Especially if those offers were available last year, before the tax rates in the highest bracket went from 35 percent to 39.6.

You make it sound as though that rate would apply for the whole contract. Just that first year albeit including the signing bonus. But why not discuss the change to CA tax law that will tax almost the entire 49ers, Chargers and Raiders rosters 10% more. Welcome to the Left Coast!
—————————————————-
The highest bracket isn’t that high chief: $400,000 and above. It will apply for even the league minimum for most guys I believe. If you live in the Bay Area, Manhattan, etc. $400,000/year really isn’t that “rich”.

The only two people holding the Texans back are Gary Kubiak and Matt Schaub. It is too bad Rick Smith did not wait on that Schaub extension because he could be traded under the non-exclusive franchise tag for some draft picks that could really improve the team plus the Texans would have alot more salary cap space.
One day, the Texans will listen to my recommendations.

He will not get more than 10 mil/year. Well, if so some team will really regret it.

We have a police state and very high tax rate people.
