55M/yr for Baker, yikes. Drake will want much more than that.

Taxes in California are so exorbitant that last year Sam Darnold lost $71,000 despite earning $178,000 in the SB victory.

Player's association best say No to SBs after 2027, which is scheduled in, you guessed it, Cali.

Overly simplistic and misleading.

Taxes in California are so exorbitant that last year Sam Darnold lost $71,000 despite earning $178,000 in the SB victory.

Player's association best say No to SBs after 2027, which is scheduled in, you guessed it, Cali.

Here’s why that is really totally bogus:


And Darnold also earned a week of his annual salary during the week he was working in California before the Super Bowl:



That’s another $101,923.

So his actual earnings from that one week totaled $2,779,923 (*) NOT $178,000!

HOLY TAX EVASION, BATMAN!

(* $2,779,923 = Super Bowl bonus $2,500,000 + one week salary $101,923 + Super Bowl winning share $178,000)

Keep this sort of distortion in mind whenever you ready political claims by any party!

No, the regular contract is not at issue. The extra pay for participants in the SB is. $178,000 for Darnold.

It's not misleading to say that players who spend seven days in the Golden State lose not gain money.

However, because he spent the week in California and the state factored the tax based on his salary, not on what he made from the Super Bowl, he had to pay a whopping $249,000 in taxes.

Nevada? He'd keep it all minus federal taxes.

Yeah, the multimillionaire didn't lose money on net, but an avaricious state definitely took advantage.

This will become a story.

The JETE have been officially eliminated from the playoffs.
