Description
Tyreek Hill had a simple explanation as to why he wanted to be traded from the Kansas City Chiefs to the Miami Dolphins instead of the New York Jets.
The star wide receiver reportedly had the option to where he was going to be traded. Back in March, he told reporters he was always going to "pick Miami no matter what."
"It was very close to happening, but it was just those state taxes, man," Hill said. "I realized I had to make a grown-up decision and here I am in a great city in Miami. It’s great weather. Great people. Beautiful people. Here I am."
According to the Tax Foundation, Florida does not have state individual income tax. That is a good thing for Hill, as he signed a four-year, $120 million contract extension when he joined the Dolphins.
New Jersey, where Hill would have played if he chose the Jets, has a 10.75% individual income tax rate. Missouri only had 5.4%.
