Davis offered more money from NYG and wash

Neither the Commanders or Giants offered Davis as much as the Cowboys.

Not sure about that but the Foreskins don't have it to offer. Thats why Pettigout walked out and signed with the Bucs...

Between state income taxes in NY, and cost of housing in DC, you have to figure that you are looking at around 5% difference between there and Texas. At 7 million a year that is $350,000 a year more if you choose Texas. Over 7 years that is an extra $2.45 million. And on the signing bonus, which you get right now, no state tax in Texas would bearound $900,000 more then if you lived in NY. Feds get you no matter what, but living expenses and state taxes are not small things.

DC professional athletes typically do not live in DC instead choose the suburbs where the state income tax is less. but that still will provide substantial benefit in the no income tax states. One other thing to consider is if Dallas' tax structure is anything like FL, another no stax state, the real property tax rate is significantly higher so the more expensive house you purchase will negate some of the income tax relief.

wow? really? i don't live up that way so i didn't want to exaggurate, but for $500k here, you could get a nice house in a great neighborhood. my 1900 sq ft house is 8 years old and i paid $130k for it. it's around $160 now. they're putting up brand new "nicer" homes down the street that start out at $300k. you want fancier neighborhoods you can do that and sure, price goes up, but the other $200-$300 can help cover that.

i may have to see about the sq footages of the houses being built there now and get some good ideas of what the market looks like today.

I sold my house in DC 2 years ago for $1.3m and it was 3500 sq ft. on a 2000 sq. ft lot. I purchased a house in Charlotte for 30% less than what I sold my house for in DC and it is double the sq. ft on an acre lot and the craftsmanship was much better than my home in DC. DC real estate is unbelievably expensive and overpriced.

2. The Leonard Davis drama was the best of the weekend. Davis, a native Texan, wanted to sign with the Cowboys so his parents could see him play. They live a little more than an hour from Dallas. But the Commanders wooed him, and he was intrigued. Pressed by the Cowboys on Friday night for a figure that would prevent him from making the trip to Washington, Davis asked for $24 million in guarantees. Once he got to Washington, Davis' wife with Jerry Jones whispering sweet $$$ in her ear kept calling and telling him the wisdom of signing in Dallas so his parents could see him. He signed a staggering seven-year, $49.6 million deal with Dallas that included $18.7 million in guarantees. The Commanders weren't going to go that high. The Giants might have gone higher to make him their left tackle. Davis will play right guard or right tackle for the Cowboys.

Just wanted to fix that paragraph.

why is everybody willing to pay this bum so much. he has failed at every position he has played. i don't like this move but i'm hoping for the best

There are 64 starting OT's in the NFL. Despite playing a position he struggled a little at (LT, the hardest), he has been a ProBowl alternate twice, including this past year.

How exactly is that "failed at every position he has played"? That's better than any OG we've had on this team in the past 10 years except for Larry Allen.
