I know in the NBA players pay taxes for wherever their game is played. I would assume it would be the same for NFL. Does anyone have any clarification on this?
Do Dolphins players get state tax for away games?

Good link, Albert. The Milwaukee Bucks are trying to build a new arena and their governor, Scott Walker, is trying to finance it with a jock tax, meaning the NBA player taxes (including visiting players) would finance it. The concept is if the Bucks left, that revenue would go to nil anyway.
No
You pay The state tax where your residence is....it was the same way in the military.
I was stationed on ships out of california...but Florida was my residence.

Reading this document it would look like they do pay state taxes for road games.... I wonder how that works for games in UK.
State income tax: State income tax is withheld depending on the location it is earned. Texas, Washington, Florida and Tennessee currently have no state income tax. Other states tax income on rates as low as 3% (Illinois) to as high as 10.3% (California). Road games require state withholding based upon two days of earnings in that particular state.

You pay the state income taxes in which you reside or work. The players work in the state of Florida and are paid through the Dolphins who are responsible for their salaries. The Miami Dolphins will get funds from the NFL, Television and other teams as revenue and then pay their expenses and payrolls. The players do not have contracts with the other locations and their employers are the Miami Dolphins.
Pro athletes do in fact pay taxes to the particular state / city they play games in. It's the same for salesmen. I lived in CT, worked in NYC - I paid income tax to both states, along with Wisconsin, where I frequently traveled as part of the job.
From the article quoted below:
State, City & Local Income Taxes: NFL players typically have income taxes withheld at the federal,
state, city and local level. A player may often be required to file in as many as nine states as well as at the
federal level. The amounts withheld for state, city and local taxes are generally deductible.

Might be correct for Military personnel. They often have exceptions to the normal state tax rules. But as for everyone else, you pay state tax in the state for which you earned the income. I've prepared a tax return for a baseball player. They have to allocate their income to each state based on where they played, not where their team is located.
Based on the link Albert posted, you are considered to be working in a state for two days for every away game. So for example, Fin players must file a NY tax return every year (Jets away game), they would allocate their income by taking 2 days divided by the total working days (determined on a state by state basis) and then multiply that by their salary. That will be NY Taxable wages.
Ummm, that would be a NY tax return every year for the Bills game; And then a NJersey tax return for the Jets game; And a Massachusetts tax return for the Patriots game.
And of course one for each state for the other 5 away games.
Which raises the question of what happens for the London games???
