And then the team itself, the talent that the player is surrounded with, teammate-wise, the coaching staff, whether or not the team is anticipated to be a playoff Super Bowl team, these are all things that I would say are a little bit more important to players than the workplace conditions.

It's something that players are talking about, but I wouldn't put it in the top few factors of making free agent decisions. Another thing you need to realize about unrestricted free agency, this happens really fast.

Sometimes a player has to make a life-altering decision in five minutes because if the player is not ready to commit, that team is going to go on to the next guy on their list at that position. And when you have to make those quick decisions, the size of the locker room is really not coming up.

One of the factors that a player, an agent will absolutely consider is whether or not there's a state tax that's levied against the player with the team that he is signing with. And eight of the 32 NFL teams play in states where there is no state tax.

And that could be a pretty big difference monetarily if you're talking about 0% taken out as opposed to 8%, 9%, 10%, 11% in some of the higher states. List for me the no tax places. I guess it's all the teams in Texas and Florida. The two teams in Texas. It's the three teams in Florida. It's Vegas. It's Seattle. And it's Tennessee.

I think it was a great idea for him to commission this survey and get responses from players. He should be holding teams' feet to the fire because I can guarantee you there are some owners that are upset. From what I've read, Arthur Blank down in Atlanta was disappointed that his team ranked And these guys are competitive.

Regardless of whether or not it's really having an impact in free agent decisions, it doesn't mean that the survey is not going to affect change in a lot of these facilities with these team owners because if they perceive that it could be a problem in free agency, that's really the most important thing.

But it is important. And certainly, I think as a player ages throughout his career, it becomes more important because presumably they have a wife, they have children. And how the family is treated on game day, for instance, is a big deal. I remember about 15 years ago speaking to the front office of the Jets and they were asking, well, what could we do better?
