In Chicago, Bears viewed as favorites to land Mario Williams
Note, so now the bears supposedly get 1.6 million from us and skins to possibly out bid us in cap money? Is that fair?Due to the NFL cohercing the NFLPA to take money away from us and skins to raise salary cap, again is that right and not collusion?

Getty ImagesTwo years ago the Bears made a big move in free agency to land one of the NFL’s most talented pass rushers. And they may now be poised to do it again.

With Mario Williams set to become an unrestricted free agent on Tuesday afternoon, the Bears are planning a push to sign him, teaming him up with Julius Peppers in what would give the Bears a pair of outside rushers unmatched by anyone in the NFL.

In fact, according to John “Moon” Mullin of CSNChicago.com, multiple NFL sources say the Bears are the favorites to sign Williams, the former No. 1 overall pick of the Texans.

The Illinois and Chicago income tax rates are what?

The Illinois and Chicago income tax rates are what?
He can keep his Texas Residence and claim Texas state taxes.

As well any game played in another state they have to give a portion of their game winnings to that state's taxes, California is notorious for going after sports players $$$ when those players come to town.

I'm Mario or bust as far as Free Agency goes, but I doubt that the taxes would affect Mario at all.

Anyways we'll know tomorrow afternoon, the bigger names tend to be signed after like 10 minutes of an open market.

Though I doubt that tampering will ever be punished, since it's an actual rule instead of an unwritten one...
