Boutte available for trade?

Millionaires' tax.
NEP are welcome to move to Southern NH, Bears style. Toll revenue would be mega.
Won't happen for obvious invested infrastructure reasons. And traffic would NOT be welcome

This has been pointed out before. The players only pay on the games in MA, not all of the games. If they play in CA they pay CA tax or if they pay in TX, they pay TX tax. It is not an easy tax situation like having a 9 to 5 job in one state.

NFL players generally pay state and sometimes city income tax based on where they work, including road games. This is commonly called the “jock tax.”

The basic idea: A player is taxed federally on all income, and then states/cities tax the portion of income connected to work performed in that location. For athletes, many states use a “duty days” formula, not just “game days.” Duty days can include preseason, practices, meetings, travel days, game days, and postseason days. California’s rule, for example, divides California duty days by total duty days and applies that ratio to total compensation.

These tax rules are the same for anyone who works is more than one state. Calling it a jock tax is misleading. It is true that when a player plays half in CA, he pays more that if he played his games in Tamps. States do have different rules with regard to how to divide income, but it is critical for most to collect taxes on entertainers, athletes and truck drivers who have residences in other states.

Bill Belichick drafted Mac Jones, period. The idea that Wolf him drafted is pure delusion, No one ever overruled Belichick on any player at any position, let alone at quarterback,

It was collaboration, you have no clue. Reporters wrote this.

Bob Kraft announced personnel was no longer a one man show entering 2021.

Bill himself said personnel and coaching weren't on the same page the last few years he was here.

Are the two guys most familiar with the inner working at Gillette lying just because you have an axe to grind?

 

[Huckleberry1]

Nobody is going to pay that.

I think a 4th is a fair price.

Bull ****ing ****. Kraft made one comment that he would like to see some collaboration and Belichick blew him off completely, which is why Kraft said in 24 that Belichick had full control the entire time. You have absolutely ZERO proof that Wolf picked Jones, but you keep repeating it like it's gospel.

Show your proof that Wolf made that pick or shut the **** up about it.

 

[Huckleberry1]

Which " axe to grind" Is that? The axe where I called Belichick the GOAT coach, and possibly the GOAT GM? That ace to grind? Or the one where I said that Wolf was responsible for all of the bad picks and free agent signings in 25'? You and your idiotic Cult of Belichick garbage, where he was fully responsible for all the good, but everyone else gets the blame for his mistakes. What a douchebag.

 

[Huckleberry1]

Let's see the proof that Wolf picked Jones Wozzy, or STFU.

 

[Huckleberry1]

Wozzy, you're as bad as complete make believe horseshit that gets put out on Facebook.

No offense, but I couldn't care less about discussing tax codes. I only wanted posters to realize the Jock Tax and they can look at it if they want. I don't want to.

While it's been reported that Kraft had enough of the bad drafts/personnel decisions and wanted "collaboration", someone has to make the final call at the end of the day. That's Bill. Mac Jones was the obvious pick at the time unless you wanted to roll with Cam Newton in 2021. We are only criticizing it now because it didn't work out.

Will Diggs add as much value as he will cost? I suspect not.

And to be blunt, I don't think that Bourre is even relevant. I think that it is a matter of time until he is traded, even if that time is after Game 1.

MG, you don't think that Brown will add $7mm in value in 2026, or $10mm in 2027, or $11mm om 2028, because those are the cap numbers I've seen that Brown will cost the next 3 seasons, because is a pretty low bar.

Belichick definitely drafted Jones. One of his best friends (Saban) was Jones’ coach. That’s about as obvious as obvious can get…
