Twitter: Skins offered Cooper $22M per year

[gjkoeppen]

Are you saying that paying higher property taxes isn't a consideration in taking a $20 million a year deal in Dallas vs. a $22 million a year deal in Washington, D.C.? Well, actually Maryland, since the Commanders play in Maryland and not in D.C.

Actually the property taxes in Landover are about the same as Dallas plus there's a state income tax.

No State taxes in Texas helps too.

The only spot I see from the Commanders players in this area is Eastern Motors, a bend you over and we will get you into a car outside your price range car dealer. The dealer puts an interlock in their cars that you have to punch in a code to disable after making your payment.

I think it has been established that the lack of state income tax is not a factor for the majority of FAs.

Either a player will take the most money he can get or he will give a discount to go to a team he wants to be on.

I have not heard a player in ages make a claim that he chose one team over another because of state income taxes.

 

[dallasdave]

I hope that this is considered by those who are saying 'the Cowboys overpaid.'

Well said indeed Sir

 

[dallasdave]

I'd bet that weather was definitely a factor, and an advantage for the Cowboys.

The Deadskins being a trash team was also a factor

Undoubtedly. Their money isn't even 'green enough' anymore, that's how much damage Snyder has done.

Plantar Foot comes and goes. Let's hope it doesn't flare up on him again.

yeah that planters peanut guy got planted

 

[BigD_95]

But players are greedy .....lol
That's some serious paper he left on the table .......

Dak - see how it works

 

[JoeKing]

$22M minus 8.95% in state taxes is not a better deal than what the Cowboys offered. Cooper was smart to not take the Commanders offer.




Washington, D.C., levies income taxes from residents utilizing 5 tax brackets.

• 4% on the first $10,000 of taxable income.
• 6% on taxable income between $10,001 and $40,000.
• 7% on taxable income between $40,001 and $60,000
• 8.5% on taxable income between $60,001 and $350,000.
• 8.95% on taxable income of $350,001 and above.

The main advantage is if a player rents like TO did. They're still paying the property taxes through their rent payment but they don't see it.

Of all the NFL cities with no state income tax, DAL has the highest property taxes. And they only get the state break in states with no tax.

It might be a selling point the clubs try with agents but I don't see that working.

An agent is not doing his job if he does not explain that half of his money will not be taxed at upwards of 9-13% -

That's 5.4 million on Amari's deal in DC! (9% at 60 mill)

 

[gjkoeppen]

I disagree ,

theres more then one definition of TEAM FRIENDLY...
look at years, structure and backloaded contracts.. thats team friendly and all of them allowed the DC FO to structure them in a way to where the AAV was great for pubic ego and they get decent bonus money in guarantees but let the FO structure it to help the team do more staggered deals..

thats a fact thats what DAK wont do , not only does he want a short deal , wants bigger guarantees, and a high AAV..its why he got tagged the rest got signed.. Im saying on AC its not as if he took some kind iof true hit to stay, I said he did a team friendly in regard of structure and thats why he got his deal but not in comp to the AAV as they are about the same when you break down the sales tax and what not, not having to relocate, similar system , same guy throwing to him, he didnt sacrifice in that regard.. so stuff your errors where ever it makes you feel comfy..

Sales tax smales tax, that amount that MAY be higher than SOME NFL cities but that tiny difference compared to state income tax isn't even in any player's before or after thought. Paying a penny or two or three when buying a pack of gum or what the sales tax a car compared to what it would cost the player in state income taxes is actually laughable. Using sales and property taxes as some kind of justification for possible reason for choosing one NFL city over another compared to state income taxes to no state income taxes is ridiculous.

my freaking point is AC DID NOT SACRFICE TURNING DOWN THE SKINS OFFER, its being exaggerated when IMO we overpaid to keep him but ill give him credit for the team friendly structure of the deal.. thats my opinion and my point.this thread started with wow look at all that money he lost and its untrue..

now lets move on, he was overpaid and im sure hes very happy lol ​

 

[gjkoeppen]

You gotta be pretty foolish to believe other taxes don't replace state income tax.

Basic math. States get their money. They just take it in different ways.

You do the math. How many millions have to be spent at the sales tax rate of Dallas to equal what a players entire income is taxed in state income taxes without spending a single dime.

No need to worry, my accountant handles that..... I would guess few players even realize there are tax benefits to playing in certain states, lol.

 

[blueblood70]

Its glass half full/empty to me.

When I suggest its team friendly by Amari, what I mean is he could have used the 'Skins to force the Dallas offer higher.

He did not. Not saying it was optimal as in a home team discount as many think should happen with every signing. That is unrealistic.

Dak is playing hardball and Dallas has nobody to blame but themselves.

They have been praising Dak as the face of the Franchise since his rookie year.

They knew they would have to pay for that at some point. Dak has been a quick study of how the NFL works with its star players.

And he understands marketing. He has watched Jerrah market his skills to increase the exploding value of the Franchise brand.

Dr. Frankenstein..meet your monster. Jerrah you created Dak. Now feed him.

This will blow over soon enough.

Zeke paid.

Amari paid.

Tank paid.

Jaylon paid.

Byron Jones used as much as they could.

Cobb..same thing.

Quinn same thing.

As bad as 2019 was and the coaching change was inevitable..the team handled some personel issues well enough to have won alot more.

Right now we have so many pieces in motion for 2020 that it isn't clear yet.

We wait. And hope. And post.

sorry but they all GOT PAID because they came to the middle of the table with a compromise on contract structure..Dak has not and at this point I can care less whether hes here after this season.. even traded before the season starts for a 1or 2nd round pick and a player of need..

I'm sure all of the Cowboys fandom is happy now that you have set what the actual price for Cowboys Players is. BTW you haven't come ANYWHERE close to proving that Cooper didn't lose money especially when the details of half of your argument hasn't been made public yet ( the Cowboys contract) and we the public will probably never know the details of the skins offer. All you have is SPECULATION and/or what your mind THINKS it is.

[blueblood70]

So you don't think caving to Zeke gives Dak a little more confidence in his position? That's apples to apples - I don't know what orange you are talking about.

zeke gave the team a well structured longer years deal and his money was backloaded..thats apples to oranges

want more Zeke also is Rb with one bite at the big apples and get this a lot less % against the cap , daks wants like 3.5 times more then zeke, let that sink in .. smh Zeke Appeared to get what he wanted but he did compromise and Dak has not.. not one bit..its why hes tagged and we've signed 6 players the last 2 years to long term deals, they all came to the middle on the deal..

Okay. Of course, all this assumes that Amari would even want to purchase a home in Arlington or the Dallas area. Shrug.
