If his team wins, Darnold will receive $178k and pay $249k to California in taxes for his time here, losing $71k.
I don’t understand this statement if he is paying 249k that’s what he is losing not the difference between the tax paid and what’s leftover

It’s simple because of the hyper-aggressive tax approach of the state of California. If you have not experienced it, then it is really hard to comprehend. Count yourself fortunate.
In this case, the position is that any incentives in a contract anywhere in the country (world?) that are tied to a performance that is taking place in that state is taxable revenue. No one has successfully challenged the power of the, ironically named, Franchise Tax Board.

Players get taxed by the "work time/days" they spend in whatever state they play.
For instance we have a Monday night game in Dallas and leave Fri, return Tues; you claim the tax rate of the days while in Texas
I understand the concept. The issue at hand is that NFL player salaries are paid out over the 18 weeks of the regular season. Playoff pay comes from a league pool and is separate income from their contracted amount.
Assuming Darnold doesn’t have California residency (he may), I don’t see how they can tax him on income earned outside of the state.

Why do you post (copy and paste) info that’s blatantly not true?
Taxes in Cali suck, but what you posted is incorrect.

We just need to refuse paying taxes until our State and Fed governments get their crap in order. It's downright thievery at this point.

Same thing happened to Manning when he played the Super Bowl in New Jersey, he would play the Jets the following season.

Those numbers aren't correct, that's his 2025 salary with his signing bonus.
We are now in 2026 different tax year.

Why do players (and especially the players' union) agree to play in California at all, and especially under these circumstances?
Honestly surprised a player hasn't said "I'm not making the trip." He would get torched until people saw it was going to cost him money.
That said, I would be surprised if the PA didn't bring it up as a bargaining chip in the next round of negotiations.

There is no way that can be legal. I get the whole taxing him on money earned while working inside California. But you can't tax his entire yearly income when he only worked 8 days in the state.

It's only going to get worse for the communists there also. They are running everyone off so they will have to raise taxes even more to support their already bloated budgets.

Bingo,
They included the tax on his base pay and bonus without including the base pay in earnings.
They included federal tax on his base and bonus without including base pay in earnings.
He makes 33.5 mil a year 734K for the 8 working days, plus 178K if he wins. He earns 912K and pays taxes of 121K in Cali state tax.
While Cali has the highest state tax at 13.3% this is a total bullshite gotcha.

How is California taxing him on income already earned?
Many states do this now, all sports, and entertainment as well probably. If you earned income in the state playing a game or having a concert, you did earn the income there and can probably deduct it from your home state income.

It’s astonishing how many of you give a shite what a wealthy athlete pays in taxes. It’s a freaking game. Man, the struggle it must be for these players to get by. If only they had accountants to help them with their deductions, charitable donations, etc to get around these oppressive taxes

Correct, people don’t realize how hard Cali goes after taxes. Think of the old mafia and how they extorted money from businesses.
When I was stationed at Miramar I witnessed their heavy hand and that was some time ago. What saved me, I was a legal resident of another state and had military exemption. They tied to extort $1,800 from me over car registration and I had to get docs from my home state and being in along with my military ID to avoid it. I had simply got a letter stating my car was observed operating in Cali over tike without registering.
Whats worse is the military who retired there and then moved afterwards. Cali stated since their retirement happened in Cali they would owe Cali taxes on that income for the rest of their lives no matter if they moved away or not. So military started issuing official orders to Nevada for their final month to get around it. Cali challenged that and I think Congress got involved but I have no idea what ever happened as I transferred to another state and vowed to never set foot in Cali again.
Everything is taxed so high there. Anything to do with a car is too. Extra environmental fees out the arse for a simple oil change. Tire taxes. I changed my own oil and had to pay to take it to a certified station to collect it.
This sports taxing is called The Jock Tax. People should go read up on it. Big pay diff TX to CA for athletes.
