This one is just about taxing draft picks.

This says that signing bonuses are generally only taxed at the state level, which, like income, I'm assuming is taxed at a lot less of a rate than federal taxes, so why wouldn't they just make most of it a signing bonus and then take a minimal regular salary?

Just seems like there would be ways around the tax code.
