Reply to comment by Sgt-Pumpernickel in [Schefter] Rams and nine-time All-Pro LB Bobby Wagner mutually agreed Thursday to part ways, sources tells ESPN. Rams needs more cap space and Wagner wants to win. He will now be a notable part of this year’s free-agent class. by BCLetsRide69

I'm sure there are players that care more about the community they live in than winning games as well. I know they don't technically have to live full time in or around their team's city, but playing for a team has to be a much more attractive prospect if you also enjoy living in the area.

This point gets overblown bc players end up paying state taxes based on each state they play in. It’s still different bc you’ll play ~50% of games in one state but not as extreme as you think.

People always make this point like not paying income tax on ~50% of your multimillion dollar earnings isn’t an absolutely massive thing.

You’re not wrong. The whole statement is pretty dumb to begin with, yes he wants to win. Will he probably take the best deal, yes.
