Trade Value

overall 14.37 × normal 1 × age 22 1.12 × HB 0.75 × contract 1.09
A bargain: $1.8M against the $2.4M a player this good usually costs. 3 years left, which is what gives it weight.
This league's own model, not Madden's — EA publishes no trade value. It prices the contract as well as the player, because a team trading for him takes the number on too. How it works.

Going rate drawn from same position, any rating, what is paid from same position, ±5 OVR, same age group. Each group widens until it holds at least five players, so a small count means this profile is rare in the league and the figure deserves less weight. Annual value is total salary plus bonus over the length of the deal — not the cap hit, which Madden back-loads.

In the Chronicle
- Vol. 2, Issue 21 · Baker Mayfield throws for 369 yards and four touchdowns and loses by one, Bijan Robinson answers with 212 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns of his own, and the Chronicle's pick to upset Green Bay is wrong by 26 points. Four teams are left for two conference-championship rematches.
- Vol. 2, Issue 16 · Denver and Cincinnati both push to 15-0, a one-point classic decides the Game of the Week, and Warren Davis and Marvin Daniels turn a Broncos-Titans shootout into the highest-scoring game of the week.
- Vol. 2, Issue 15 · Denver and Cincinnati both push to 14-0, Dallas is shut out in the Game of the Week, and Jahmyr Gibbs runs for 324 yards to put the single-season rushing record within reach.
- Vol. 2, Issue 13 · Denver and Cincinnati both push to 12-0, New England and Seattle combine for 115 points in the season's second-biggest shootout, and Jahmyr Gibbs closes in on the single-season rushing record with five games to play.
- Vol. 2, Issue 12 · Denver and Cincinnati both push to 11-0, Josh Allen throws for 501 yards and seven touchdowns and still loses, and a Cardinals quarterback outlasts a shootout in Carolina.
- Vol. 2, Issue 11 · Green Bay's perfect season ends in Philadelphia, Denver and Cincinnati are the last two teams left unbeaten, and a running back the Chronicle had never featured before is the reason why.

- Vol. 2, Issue 7 · Two teams are still perfect after seven weeks, a fourth team joins the winless column, and Washington's quarterback still hasn't thrown a single interception.
- Vol. 2, Issue 3 · Eight teams still unbeaten, a perfect passer in New York, and a tight end who tied the record book on a Sunday afternoon.
- Vol. 2, Issue 2 · Ten teams unbeaten, ten teams winless, and one cornerback with the record book in his hands.
- Vol. 2, Issue 1 · A revenge-tour 56-point outburst in San Francisco, a banner-raising win in Cincinnati, and two rookie quarterbacks who won their openers.
