The problem with Cook is the Vikings are going to offer him a fair contract, but he has painted himself into a corner with all his talk about being the best RB in the NFL and expecting to get paid as such. He won't be able to accept less than 12 million a year and save face. The Vikings I doubt will offer that much.

I wonder if I'd let my ego get the best of me I ever became the best at something? ... you know, coming from rural America, humble beginnings and all.

- I do wonder what paying state taxes do to some negations? You never hear about it but I'll bet those agents are like, "Well if you go here you'll end up paying 15% more in taxes than if you go there."

Home games only. When visiting other states they pay whatever that state's rate is (if anything). Visiting players pay MN tax when they play here. I'm sure it's still a factor but not quite to the degree that it looks like initially.

The end difference probably isn't more than 3-4% for the most extreme case. The fact that you pay the state tax for whatever state you are playing in, probably cuts the difference between any 2 states nearly in half. Plus the states with no income tax make up a lot of that via every other tax available to them. Their state/local governments still have to operate.

leigh steinberg said during an interview once that the rookies tell him that the biggest shock during their first couple of months in the nfl was how small their after-tax paychecks were....

Cody Ford@Cody_Ford74
“I got my social security number” 😂😂 boy them taxes do hurt.

I can relate.

My last check at work was a buy-out check due to my retirement. The gross amount was $23,738.40. My net was $14,457.93. Federal deduction $6,034.48

I said to my business manger, "I thought you said it was going to get worse when a democrat took office? I didn't think we elected one yet." He said it'll be another thousand when we do. ;)

Seriously, I knew what the gross amount was going to be since February but boy was it a buzz kill to see the net last week.

Bet it's bigger than my buyout check when I retire.

How do some states survive financially w/o a state tax?

Most states have them and are still broke.

i agree with this - cooks 'media ego' could very well get in the way of him signing a fair deal....

the media is calling for a holdout or a derrick henry deal - henry played four years - had two 1k+ yard seasons and 3,800 rushing yards total...played in 64 games over those four years...and, he had a huge year in 2019....

dalvin's career is not equivalent to derrick henry's...played three years, one 1k yard season where he completely faded the second half...played in only 29 games gaining 2,100 yards rushing...cook has had more success receiving than henry, but defenses are going to be more focused on stopping this....


regarding a hold out: if cook shows up for the first day of training camp he won't lose his accrued year standing, but what happens after the first day of camp?...if he goes through training camp and then disappears for 12 reg season games, only to show up for the final six games he gets his accrued season....is this still true? - i believe that there is some new language in the 'pandemic cba' that allows him to ditch the team and get his accrued year - perhaps it's in the 'opt-out' language, i don't know....
