    Maybe being in a state with no income tax might be beneficial after he retires when he can redo all of his estate planning.  As long as he's playing it's inconsequential.  You pay taxes in the state you earn the money.  If he plays for a Florida team for his last years in the league it would result in savings but that is not the reason he is moving there. He is moving there to be closer to his family.   

     

    You are correct.. I just read the article on ESPN

    The tax burden means zero if you're not playing for a Florida team.    You have to pay taxes to the state in which you play the games.   

     

    The non-residential tax would be it. It's significantly less and also can be credited, a portion, from the resident state. A heckuva lot better than California.

    Backing up Jamies Winston.

    Yikes lol.. but given the weird % that happens in the NFL I cant say I would be surprised

    Did I say anything about them being on the field on third down? That's why you put your pass rushers on third down which Stewart showed this year he can do, but you need to control the LOS first which we didn't do all year hence why we need Brockers

     

    And I didn't either, however YOU keep insinuating Stewart is a passing rushing DT and he's not. He's not even an average one. *hint* That's why came off the field on 3rd downs... AGAIN, that's why getting another, better, 3T is more important.. 

     

    The run defense suffered because Autry is out there early when he shouldn't be, our currently starting 3T

    I not saying their the same player. I'm saying his big body next to Brockers can help our run defense then pass downs he'll move back to the one and bring in Autry

     

    Ideally you don't want Stewart, nor Brockers, on the field on 3rd down. A guy like Kinlaw, 3T, fits better because he can play the run and rush the passer through all 3 downs. Stewart and Autry split the early and late downs with him. Getting another 1T doesn't do much to help the pass rush on the 3rd and obvious passing plays. That's why people, and myself, have said another 3T is way more important than another 1T guy like Brockers, and especially paying that much money for him.

    At this stage in his career and with all of the money he has made I highly doubt he's worried about paying state income tax for his last few years.  This is about him being closer to his family. 

     

    You're thinking way too simple... It does matter with how much he's made and how he has it invested, especially when he retires. Being in a state with no state income tax, and how he redistributes his money,  both are mutually exclusive and majorly beneficial.

     

    I'd be pretty much shocked if he plays in Florida. He doesn't really fit Arians system at his age. Jax can't afford him and I believe Miami rides with Fitzmagic and probably someone from the draft this year, probably Tua.

     

    Carolina would be a good fit if they dump Cam.

    Autry had 9 sacks the previous year. 5 this year. Also Stewart emerged as a pass rushers. We have dlinemen that can rush. What we don't have is someone to keep olinemen off our LBers

     

    A) Autry is barely above 270 and not an early down guy. The 3 Tech needs an upgrade over Autry for early downs.

     

    B) Stewart is a 1T and played there all season. The Colts could use another guy there too.

    I am of the belief that Manning asked to be released.  He knew he only had 3 or 4 more years left and did not want to be part of the rebuild he knew Grigs needed to do.

     

    I totally believe Irsay had a mutual agreement with this and I'm still more than satisfied with how everything worked out and glad it worked out the way it did for Manning.

    Don’t sleep on Herbert. I’m not worried about him going to the Chargers. I think Carolina is the team that would take him. 

     

    I wouldn't be surprised if Carolina doesn't find a way to ship Cam off, and roll with Grier/Allen next year. With either of those 2 QB's, I think they could end up being bad enough to be in the running for one of the top 2 spots. Fields would be a good fit for them with McCaffery.

    I actually don't think so.  I think with the success of Lamar Jackson (and the NFL being a copycat league), some team will overdraft him and probably take him the first round.

     

    You've clearly never watched the guy play outside of some highlights. JT Barrett was a much better college QB than Hurts, same read-option/poor passing QB, and he went undrafted. Lamar is going to be it. Teams aren't going to waste the time reinventing their offense for a gimmick player, who's play-style will be forced to change. Sure it will last a season or 2, just like we seen with Vick, Cam, RG3, but eventually, and quickly, defenses adapt and force them into being the QB's they aren't used to being. 

     

    I'll tell you what, I'll give you the first 5 rounds and I will take the last 2. If Jalen is drafted before the 6th, I'll change my avatar to that of Jalen.

    He seems to me to maybe one of those guys who is a classic overachiever in college but struggles in the NFL due to limitations or "tweener" status.  I'm leery of guys who don't seem to have a great fit at any NFL DL position.   Tyquan Lewis ring a bell?

     

    But.. Lewis does have a position, and no he wasn't a "tweener". He played 99% of his snaps on the strong side of Ohio States defense, broke a few Big10/Ohio State records, and was pretty good. I still have yet to understand why this Colts staff wanted to add weight to him and shove him in a position he played less than 1% at in college.

  11. 1. Love

    2. Herbert (not really a fan of him, but the potential is there somewhere)

    3. Patterson (interesting mid-round guy that I think could be a hidden gem)

    4. Gordon (desperation move)

     

    The only way I even look at Eason or Fromm is if they hit round 4, which I'm sure someone will grab/overdraft them sooner. Hurts and Huntley wouldn't even be on my cocktail napkin I threw in the trash let alone my board. Huntley is a little bit better passer than Hurts, but I have no interest in mediocre passing dual-threat QB's.
