John Clayton just said Cowboys going to offer Demarco $7-7.5m per

[JoeBoBBY]

You missed the part about tax difference between the two states.... its almost a wash.

I did...... I live in Texas too and didnt even think about it

If thats the case, then why would he leave?

If those are actually the offers, Murray will make about what Indy is offering in tax savings alone.
Welcome back DM.

3.4% income tax as opposed to 0%

Still doesn't come close to making up the difference if Colts offer 9 mil/per

He probably won't in that scenario... you said you'd take extra million.

 

[waving monkey]

Well OK now the defensive line

Especially with no state income tax in Texas.

Doesn't matter. NFL players are taxed by the state they work in. So if you are on the road playing the Gents your tax is based on that state. Weird, but true.

right. he probably wont, which i think is awesome. I want DM back. I like Murray.

Okay... me too... I guess I misread your post... I'll mark you down as pro-Murray.

what a nightmare of paperwork! I despise paperwork........

that's a lot of money...demarco is going to take our deal if true. he has very good rapport with the organization and the leaders on the team. plus he loves the city and understands the opportunities available to him as a Cowboy. 1-2 mill extra from the Colts won't make up for that.

Nah, I'm sure all these guys just use turbo tax!

You don't think so? The AFC south is arguably weaker than the NFC east. He can be a winner with the Colts for years to come.

I've heard that they skirt this by saying they put in more hours in their home state. Paid minimum for games, and more for practice, travel, and meetings.

It's definitely not a wash they'd both pay full boat federally and Murray would only save state taxes on games played in Indy. So let's say the difference is 1.5m in salary. He'd pay an extra 7 percent (Indy state tax) on half of his base. Let's say he gets 9m vs our 7.5. That's an extra tax bill of 315k. A difference of 1.175m into Murray's pocket in Indy. Hardly a wash.

 

[remdak]

Seriously?

Yes. I've read that as well. Money grab by the states.

What's the garanteed?????.....That's the key.
