Taking less money

[Mr. Scot]

Not at all when you consider how much playing with Rodgers will affect his next contract.

 

But his next contract isn't guaranteed.

 

Anything can happen.

I think I would take less to win, but that's way easy to say when you don't have millions potentially waiting for you. When get a lot of money, you want a lot more.. Drake said it best "people (didn't say people...) with no money act like money isn't everything"

[caatfan]

He doesn't need a few million more. He likes his team. He likes where he lives. He doesn't want to live in CA. Doesn't want to play for a crappy organization. Who knows?

NC should do away with state sales tax so we can keep Cam Newton

[teeray]

Absolutely. If I had family and friends in a region I enjoyed I would stay put for less money but better quality of life

[Snake]

I think if the Browns or the Raiders are offering and I can make a mill or two less somewhere else, I pick somewhere else every time.

Tax rates in CA are 13%+ whereas they are 0 in TN and FL

 

Not sure what they are in WI

Didn't Rapoport or somebody put up a chart showing the rates for every state?

He did.

[Mr. Scot]

He did.

 

Someone should repost it.

Ah crap, now he's for sure going to Dallas.

[gamecockfanatic]

Florida has no state tax, just sayin'

Honestly, in this day and age neither is this new one. But I do believe staying with Rogers gives him a better shot at seeing most of that money in the contract, ie hitting escalators, bonuses or whathaveyou.

 

Don't want to sign big and then get cut the following year like might happen to Bowe.

When you are taxed at their rate the difference between 10 million a year and 12 million is roughly 1 million after taxes.  So the question is when you are making more money than you can spend in a lifetime are there other considerations besides money when that is already a given and the difference is not that much.  The answer is obviously there would be reasons to stay in Green Bay.  Now if Oakland were offering 3 million and the Packers were offering 1 million I suspect he would have left.  IN that case the 2 million extra triples your salary where in Cobb's case it was not that huge relatively speaking.
