TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS NFL PAYCHECK REVIEW WHAT AN NFL PAYCHECK LOOKS LIKE HOW MUCH TAXES THEY PAY

Making that much money in 2004, you’d be living like a king. Especially when houses were cheaper and so was everything else.

This was Brian Kellys contract..He played for 11 seasons for Bucs..This was actually his 2nd contract..His rookie contract started in 1998 which is the other video of rookie contract.

[@stevencharles4333]

As a matter of clarity, I will add a couple of points 1. Eligibility to be an authorized NFL player agent limits the agents fee to 3% of a player's contract. - - the agent seeks out the endorsements and his/her cut is outside of the NFL contract. - - financial services and fees an agent offers and charges players are also outside of the NFL contract. - - agents often handle tax returns, investments, insurance, medical and rehab referrals and on occasion, legal matters like posting bail. -- Agents also arrange for HNW financial institutions like Chase, JP Morgan, Wells Fargo to provide "Private Banking" services which include benefits like the Amex Black Card and JP Morgan's Reserve Card 2. I'm a CFP®, i have a few colleagues that contract with NFL agents to provide financial advice for their players, that's both a fee and service charged to a player. 3. Since retirement, Brian Kelly has a full time post NFL gig in TV/documentary production; he owns/operates a production company. cheers.

What's the pay period for the check? In other words, is the check weekly? Monthly?

[@markeyj]

It's not. Brian Kelly made 2.8 that year. It's Ronde Barber's... he made 4.6 million that year which ties out to the gross check *16.

[@wofwof007]

Fascinating! 401k limits were $13k in 2004 so he probably knocked that out in his first check. Hotel charges might have been ancillary ones: room service, mini bar, phone calls, pay per view, etc.

[@autismawareness8912]

Having been involved with an NFL for some time now, players are typically paid during the season, this was mos likely his first check of the season as it showed some pay for training camp. Typically player are not paid for training camp. They are paid once week for 18 weeks now, used to be 16 then 17, now 18. Those "hotel" line items you are seeing are most likely for Family, etc he had travel with the team to a road game. The players do NOT pay for their hotel room. Loooks like he also got a suite for a home game, this tells me this was not a top tier player, at least not the team I'm involved with, If you are a top 2-3 player, they would never charge you for suite tickets, t-shirts, etc. It is the Bucs though, they are known as one of the cheapest teams in the league, LOL. Maybe this will help some who stumble on to this video. Cheers

[@Rad_Brad813]

that last part is not true at all. Every team charges their players for suites on game days. Even Taylor Swift and momma Kelce have to pay when they go. One of my first jobs was working suite security for the Bucs and opposing players families would often comment on how inexpensive ours were compared to their home/other stadiums.

[@Youngguns42303]

Stop with the bull, being janitor doesn't make you Involved" . You use most likely a lot and the FACT the year to date pay was over 1.5 million means this person was "most likely" paid for week 5 or week 6 at most. 270k x16 weeks puts his pay at 4.3 million and for a DB (position of player we are talking about)in 2004 that was a very good contract. The maximum salary a team could spend on players in the NFL in 2004 was $80.582 million.

all the taxes to different states are due to something called a "Jock tax". There's a pretty funny story behind that.

Supposedly, the state of California wanted payback. just about every other state followed suit. Basically, if you earn income in their state, you have to pay taxes on that amount.

Practice squad for sure which ain’t a bad pay check to play the game you love and not be elite level talent (practice squad is still elite just not best of the best).

[@Rad_Brad813]

@@GenPatriotX practice squad players get 225k anually in 2024. They were probably getting 30% of that 20 years ago.

Paid LA and CA taxes because when you go there for work you are required to pay taxes there due to state law. I believe New York is another that does the same. But he doesn't pay state taxes on that pay period in his home state of Florida which of course doesn't even have a state tax.

[@RickyIcecubes]

That's a weekly check, and this guy was very well paid for 2004. This is a player earning $2.2 million per year.

[@ScottyR66]

I'm surprised the players aren't 1099 independent contractors.

[@__JJN__]

I’m assuming the hotel charges were for room service

[@delacruzjeffrey]

All those state taxes are due to the players playing in those states. They technically “worked” in that state so they must pay the state income tax.

[@MrSteeDoo]

It's not technically anything. They DID work in those states.

[@mscottlawrence2037]

Why do they get paid weekly? You'd think monthly or even just have a check cut for however many years the contract he signed

[@Dhi-fe5eu]

The taxes are a joke. Wasteful spending

[@Go-Getter]

Had to be a pretty decent player to be getting paid that in 04. Should've negotiated a $50k monthly spending limit credit card.

[@waynemasters]

Made a mill and a half and only put $13k into his 401(k)??

[@viktorivakhno2244]

you need to think about it😂😂😂😂

[@waynemasters]

@@viktorivakhno2244YTD 13k? They’re young and not thinking about the future.

[@waynemasters]

@@viktorivakhno2244Not to mention if the League matches 200%, I’d be stuffing cash in my 401(k) like mad.

[@supreme5998]

There’s a max limit.

[@petros7929]

They maxed out!

[@travelingwithrick]

Eye opening. But, I wonder what the billionaire owner of the Bucs paid in taxes that year. My guess is, far less.

😂 One big check of Hell Nawl coming right up!

That refund was probably huge

i think its funny that they use ADP. i can imagine Tom Brady making his benefits election on some old computer like the rest of us

[@alanchen6625]

Never seen an nfl paycheck lol

[@normthibodeau5212]

My understanding is that they pay state tax in the state each game is played.

[@teeerealsirrdee]

Those are jock/entertainer taxes from those other states

[@leoguy1609]

It sure beats working at McDonald for a living.

[@mnoell35]

IKR!!!😂

[@cma1010]

You have to pay income tax to the state the income was earned. And this isn’t the final earnings. Agency fees are another 6%

[@jasonhatch446]

Would those hotel charges have been for family members and friends if they went along with him? I could see being charged for that.

[@HALEPLAYSYT]

He still get paid 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@bigmoe2176]

All those different state taxes is places they will play with in that pay period

[@mikeanderson9266]

MO is Missouri NFL way too generous with 401K The players put their life on the line, no NOT REALLY, the military does that!! Come on get real.

[@Jefff72]

Considering what these guys put their bodies and brains through for our entertainment, I have no issues with them making that. I just hope that this former player invested a good amount of that and is doing well today.

[@Discovery_and_Change]

What's the pay period for the check? In other words, is the check weekly? Monthly?

[@24SouthCobb]

Lol this is why Chad Ocho Cinco (Johnson) stayed in the stadium at the beginning of his career. 😂😂

I'm just thinking if he played for raiders or giants or jets .... Taxes was gonna eat his ass up

[@anthonyg7933]

Working 40-50 hours a week for the last 30 years, I'll never see a check close to that in my lifetime.
