Massachusetts residents especially those who make seven figures are well aware of the states heavy tax burden.
Its difficult to know how many players truly denied the Patriots over income taxes.
Once you hit the $1 million threshold, you pay more state tax in Massachusetts.

It seems like everyone’s feeling the pinch, from multi-millionaire athletes to the average Joe.
So, what’s a poor football team to do?
Well, they can’t exactly relocate to a tax haven.

Maybe if they start winning again, they’ll have an easier time attracting free agents.
This adds another layer of complexity and potential tax burden for athletes playing away games in Massachusetts.)
