Boxcar Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I'm starting to think, since Bell is getting more attention now than he has in his entire Jets tenure, he's just not going to sign with anyone and bask in the spotlight all season.

Mr. WEO Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 6 minutes ago, DrDawkinstein said: What happens if he doesnt sign with anyone and stays at home in Florida and the Jets pay him the owed $6M? Good question. "working from home", as he kind of would be--he would likely be liable for NJ state income tax (unless the Jets open an office in FLA that he worked in).. but if he lives in FLA (not NJ) 365 dyas a year, I think he would be refunded the tax by NJ--even if he wasn't "working".

I'm curious you thoughts I don't think he is much of an impact player anymore, and I think the risk in terms of distraction is definitely greater than the reward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 4 minutes ago, starrymessenger said: So a player gets to pay tax at a zero rate on 50% of his comp (8 home games in Florida or Nevada) and a blended rate on the other 8 games. The difference between the top marginal NY rate and the Florida rate is north of 8%. On Bell's contract that's a big number. I don't know how the Bills compensate for that since anything they pay just reduces what the Jets pay. There must be mechanism otherwise the Bills could not be competitive with Miami financially. Good question. The Bills could offer him 7 million, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigduke6 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 this team has bigger issues than RB imo. sure Bell could help, or he could hurt the locker room. clearly we need LBs and pass rushers more. if we sign Bell, it better be for value, and he better be dumped at the first sign he turns me first, instead of team first. end of story.

I would think so but looks to me like Bell is getting the same amount, just 1 MM more from the Bills and 1MM less from the Jets. Either way he's getting the same (Jets contract) amount. The Bills are in the game so I must be missing something, basically how the bottom line to Bell can be enhanced without a corresponding reduction in what the Jets already have to pay him. Money seems to be an issue in these negotiations so there must be a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogblitz Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I'm all for getting LeVeon. But, only if Daboll and company study how Pitt used him and use him the same way. I saw him run all over us in the snow ❄ at the Ralph in 2016. Study that "tape" among others. For the Jets he was ineffective probably cuz the Jets did not use him properly.
