In a court filing this week, the Justice Department said that Mr. Goudreau had failed to appear at a bond hearing late in October. The woman responsible for his bond is a filmmaker named Jennifer Gatien, who made a documentary about his coup attempt called "Men of War."
She said that he had "stated in no uncertain terms that he would not return to jail," and said she believed based on Mr. Goudreau's "conduct and statements, that he intended to flee."

Coup Is Arrested by U.S.
July 31, 2024
In October, Mr. Goudreau was under care at a Department of Veterans Affairs facility in Tampa, Fla. When he failed to appear in court, a warrant was issued for his arrest.
According to court documents, law enforcement authorities later learned that the ankle monitoring device assigned to Mr. Goudreau had been found wrapped in aluminum foil and hidden in a piece of furniture.

a smart thing to do as an nfl player or agent is limit yourself to playing for the raiders, cowboys, texans, dolphins, bucs, jags, or titans. limiting yourself to 7/32 potential employers is a smart thing and clearly those 7 teams have found success and bountiful free agencies because of no taxes

"It's going to be a problem and hopefully it doesn't happen," one agent responded.
Another agent said he doesn't think the tax will hurt the Seahawks in free agency, noting that two of their division rivals -- the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers - still land targeted free agents despite California's much higher income tax. The agent also cited the New York Jets, New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings as teams that tend to be unaffected in free agency by their states' income tax.
That agent said states with no income tax or lower rates are a bonus but that it doesn't tend to be a deciding factor for players, and that the ones in position to command big money in free agency will still opt for the best deals. Another agent believes the tax will be a factor for free agents but said they still evaluate offers by their total dollar amount relative to peers at their position.
A different agent said there's "no chance" he'd want to pay nearly 10% in taxes if he were a player in position to sign a lucrative contract, though he noted that this won't come into play until 2028 and thus it won't be a factor in the
meantime.

it is unbelievably stupid that the washington state income tax bill has broken contain like this but: they’re full of shit. notice how every agent has a different and conflicting answer? because it’s their job to do things for leverage, they know nothing about the bill. www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

his quote got all mangled and aggregated but that was basically what he actually said. was more about agents telling him “can’t use that one anymore in negotiations buddy” which … yeah they’re agents

There's a former mlb gm who has a podcast that talks about this regularly. He said every front office accounts for tax differences in contract writing. It has never impacted any player's decision. They never make more at the end of the day in a no income tax state than in California or Canada.

And if everybody is full of shit on this issue for NFL sized free agency contracts, then they should be mega super duper full of shit when lawmakers try to cut taxes *to help college athlete recruiting*

Ain’t nobody winning NIL wars over a 4 percent state income tax difference!

one very basic problem with all this: athletes only play half their games in the state they live the rest gets tagged for taxes from the state and even city level on game checks. so in states with no income tax, your athletes aren’t funding you but they are funding pretty much everyone else

since this is coming up in washington because of an income tax now: everyone who uses this excuse is full of shit. it comes from agents looking for any bit of leverage and people get suckered by it every time
