Myles Garrett Faces $2.9M Tax Hit on $29.2M Bonus

Myles Garrett, newly traded to the Rams, may lose over $2.9 million in taxes on his $29.2 million option bonus as his top tax rate jumps from 3.125% in Ohio to 13.3% in California.

The 2026 NFL season’s opening bonus could see Garrett’s after‑tax payout shrink by more than 10%, cutting roughly $2.9 million from his take‑home. He’s looking to keep the payment in Ohio, or push the Rams to issue it before he moves to Los Angeles, to avoid the higher California tax rate. sweetbonanza.qpon
