To "match" with Ohio's 5.75% tax rate, we would have had to offer $57 mil so that in the end he would still make $53.72 mil.
People keep bringing up if's and but's about tax rate and "maybe he liked Jacksonville".
That can go both ways. Maybe Joe wanted to stay in Ohio, where he's been for the last 4 years. Maybe he wanted to be closer to his family in Wisconsin.
Either way, we didn't even match Jacksonville's offer, so this idea that matching wouldn't have been enough is moot.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
