18 mill for a guy who doesn't have a full season of NFL on-field experience. Says a lot for the state of QB in the league.

How 'bout RG 3 in Denver [;)]

$37mm guaranteed for Osweiler.

They make up for it in spades.

It's really messed up that some NFL teams get this huge advantage in signing players based on income tax savings. Maybe the NFL should reduce the cap for teams in no income tax states and raise the cap for teams in high income tax states. Level the playing field.

He'd be a better game manager for them than Peyton was. Which is all you're gonna need with THAT defense.

It seems the Vikings actually moved the ball pretty well against THAT defense. Gives me reason for optimism about our Vikings.

The 'no income tax' strategy is cancelled out by much higher property taxes. So unless they plan on renting, it'll all even out.

Just seems unlikely to me that property task could be as much as Minnesota's approximately 10% income tax.

Jeff lives there, probably experiencing it [:D] I get that and I'm figuring he is feeling the pain of those property taxes. Just wonder if he's actually done the math to confirm his belief. I live in Flagstaff, AZ. Believe it or not I never check the tax rate. I just pay it like a good little sheep. I know our local sales tax at restaurants is 11%. How is that for a kick in the ...... You tip your waiter and Uncle Sam at the same time.

The only research I have is moving from VA. I thought taxes pretty high there but we had income tax too. When I moved here all I heard was the yocals saying "we aint gots to pay no state tax it's great". Sounded good until I realized I'm paying double the property tax for a place I don't really want to live it. If I add the state tax from VA to the property it about equals just property here (and it rocked there).

The States need revenue from somewhere. Income tax is a much more fair tax than property tax IMO.
