Tolbert Relishing Opportunity.

[thunderraiden]

He will also save a little bit of money on income taxes here vs. San Diego (maybe around $100k total) but he still took a large pay cut to come here.

Not if you factor in the chance of Stewart not resigning, then after his deal is up he gets a big payday.

Tolbert is our best FA signing. I hope he can block as well as he can Duggie.

Get ready for it.

I have not heard one negative word about this guy, even on the huddle. Might be Marty's best FA work in over 4 years. Time will tell, but you can bet I will be pulling hard for Big Mike.

It's the Camolina factor

I'm still a million dollars shy of being a millionaire.

State taxes are determined by where your games are played.

When we play San Diego, our guys will have to pay CA state tax on what they earned for that one game.

Same for Richardson.

I did not know that. Very interesting.

My father helped Richardson with his taxes (among other things).

Nobody performs better than a player that REALLY wants to be here.

It's going to be a fun season.

He's coming back. They'll restructure gross, be rid of Otah's cap hit and do some other tricky quirks to give him a nice contract. he's also the only big resigning the FO needs to take care of (at least I think).

otah's cap hit? $1,076,250 is all that's left on his contract.

BOOOOOOOO!

I thought it'd be more caz he was a first round pick. Most of the money must have been up front or something... or due to him being a mid first.

its the last year of his 5 year deal that was only worth $14.33mil anyway. didn't at all get "our" money's worth but considering some people getting that for just one year....ehhhh.
