At this point, he has to admit defeat. The titans needed a DE and they did not cave. He's in the loser boat and needs to paddle out. You need to know when your beat and fold the cards.
The tax savings alone in tennesse vs most league cities would make that extra mill irrelevant.
Not exactly. 5% of 12mil would only be 600k. So he would still make more in some states. He would make less in California and I think Minnesota if I remember right.
It's even more complicated than that. Whether his base salary is taxable depends on which city the game actually occurs in.
The Titans are guaranteed 9 income tax free games a year because of our one away game against the Jags. The rest is dependent on our away schedule.
I would say the Jags get the same benefit, but they usually play a game or two in London, and those game checks get taxed like crazy.
Texas has no state income tax as well.
I’m not sure about that. I understand that an income tax is based upon the state in the paying organization is located. In regards to player taxes, I understand it based upon the state in which the organization is located, practices and plays its home games. Not where the state where every game is played. That is because there is no employer filing to match “away” games.
Also, the AFC South is happens to be considered one of the most coveted income tax free areas as Florida, Tennessee and Texas all do not have state income taxes. Players pay equal amounts of federal taxes regardless where they play based upon their salaries. Even the vet minimum is still taxed in the uppermost brackets.

10 games. Texas doesn't have income tax either, so the away Texans game as well.
Not bad for waiting a couple of months...
Jadeveon Clowney turned down sizable offer from Seahawks in free agency, per report
It's being reported the Seahawks offered Clowney as much as $15 million to return to them in 2020 on a one-year deal, per Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk

Considering he's turned down 15-18 million...waiting a couple of months has lost him millions not made him 1 more
I was responding to the possibility of him making more when a team faced a major injury. Was Dayton that case waiting might net him more money. You are right it could certainly lose him money...we don’t know yet.
Let’s hope it loses him money...
SportsLine odds on Jadeveon Clowney's potential landing spots
Sportsline has Titans w/ best odds as landing spot for JC.

we have to be coming up on his decision time....
Clowney doesn't realize, he doesn't have the 'OFFSEASON' leverage that some free agents once had.....
Every offseason has 3 periods of team activities -- OTAS, mini, and TC...
There is dollar to be made by waiting if you're allowed to run those -- but with this new virtual stuff --- no one is getting injured. Unless you're rolling your ankle walking to grab a gatorade....
Unless a pass rusher gets hurt right out of the spurs --- I can't see many teams staying interested too long (as they'll want him full in the learning mix) which will in turn drive the price down.... so then it becomes a case of 'who is a contender' more-so than dollars (shows that by denying the Browns inflated offer)

Hes a pass rusher, not a hard position to learn in a new system. I think this may drag out til mid camp even
Income Taxes For Pro Athletes Are Reminder Of How Complicated U.S. Tax Code Is
Taxes for pro athletes are extremely complicated and they are taxed by most states and cities if they play a game there. I don't think they can get by using TurboTax. From the above link:
Athletes file taxes not only in their home state but also in every state—and some cities—in which they play.
