The recent "millionaires' tax" was passed in Washington state, aimed at reducing the income of the state's wealthiest individuals. Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz announced he and his wife would be leaving Washington for Florida. However, Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider warned that the new tax could impact free agent prospects for all pro teams in the city. He noted that the lack of a state income tax has been a key attraction for teams competing with California teams. While some NFL agents were split on how this tax could potentially impact players, others said their clients would care more about the total dollar-figure.
