BGleas Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 I hear what you all are saying and can agree that making those comments publicly is somewhat tone deaf and he probably said it awkwardly. With that said, he's not comparing his salary to ours, he's not saying he can't eat off of $16M, he's comparing his salary to the other top WR's in the league. $16M would slot him in as the 16th highest paid WR in the NFL and really 17th because Cooper Kopp is about to get paid too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First thing I thought of was curious about tax differential and cost of living. So $4M is difference. Federal is still the same but I know Tennessee is no state income tax state....and they don't have the jock tax. AFC South has to be the most friendly tax division in football (Florida, Tennessee, and Texas with no state...and Indiana is low) Playing in the Northeast I would imagine (besides California) carrying the highest jock taxes on his visit to NY and DC. Finally cost of living difference between Nashville and Philly have to be substantial. I guess what I'm saying is that if you broke down the actual NET difference on the $4M difference....we have to be talking far less than $4M. Not to mention quality of life in Nashville vs Philly. Just my 2 cents but I love looking at the true NET difference in some of these contracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta support our new guy 🤣 For real though, I definitely chimed in because he joined the Eagles, but my opinion wouldn't have changed if he had been traded to a different team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a kid I had Lakers and Chiefs posters in my room that I got from my uncle. Pirates also. So I’ve always rooted for those teams since forever. IU is the only Indiana team I’m a fan of. I root for Indiana teams second though in everything else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
