I just wish he could play with a great QB. Oh well, at least he's getting paid.

I'm curious about the terms of his contract. I'm guessing it was not for big money (although minimum wage ain't bad in the NFL). Getting away from the 49ers is probably a good thing, but the Jets might not be much better.
Myles White is under contract with the Jets so maybe we'll get to see a duo I really enjoyed watching when they were at Tech together.
I'll definitely be watching more Jets games than I used to watch, especially if Patton and White make the 53 man roster.
To me its just good news that he's wanted after getting out of that hellhole in SF.
I'm happily surprised to see that QP is still hanging on as an NFL WR. However, I'm not convinced that moving to the NY Jets is going to help his career. Now that he's there, I'd like to see the Jets sign Tony Romo or another big time veteran free agent QB.
On the pay front, the NFL minimum for a 5th year player is 775K. So, if he only makes the minimum, he won't starve to death. However, he also won't be living large in NY city either.

Does anyone know the taxes he'll have to pay in NY? With Fed, State and City tax combined, it's gonna be bad, real bad.
State Income Tax Brackets - New York
$79,600 - $212,500 6.65% $212,500 - $1,062,650 6.85% $1,062,650+ 8.82%
So here's how far 775K will go in NYC:
$ 775,000
<271,250> 35% Fed Tax Rate (assuming he has a few writeoffs)
< 53,088> NY State Tax Rate
<155,000> 20% commission Fee to his sports agent (this is purely a guess!)
$ 295,662 NET
So a player would have about 295K left over for all living expenses, travel expenses, child care, expensive tolls and parking in NYC, etc...
Do The Jets Belong To New York Or New Jersey? | Huffingtonpost (2011)
“Today when they’re practicing, where are they practicing?” New Jersey,” Christie said. “And when they play their homes games, where do they play? New Jersey. And where do most of their players live? In New Jersey.”
It's a make or break season for the General. I hope Myles White makes the roster and they re-unite in the Big Apple.
