Trade Value

overall 37.36 × star 1.35 × age 26 1 × MIKE 0.85 × contract 1.02
A bargain: $4.0M against the $4.2M a player this good usually costs. 4 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 22 · Cincinnati's 17-0 season ends in the AFC Championship as Houston wins 29-14 despite four Nicholas Battle interceptions, Green Bay survives Washington by one point, and the HFL Championship is set: Houston at Green Bay, a rematch of a game the Packers won by two points in Week 4.
- Vol. 2, Issue 20 · Denver's perfect season is over. Tennessee, the seven seed at 8-9, wins 16-13 in Denver behind three Harrison Butker field goals and two Joey Bosa sacks, and the Broncos are held to their lowest point and yardage totals of the year. Arizona beats San Francisco by a point, Houston is outgained by 131 yards and wins anyway, and Philadelphia runs for 267 in a 41-3 rout. Eight teams remain, Cincinnati is the last unbeaten one, and the bracket reseeds for the divisional round.
- Vol. 2, Issue 5 · Five teams still perfect, two shutouts on the same afternoon, and a running back in Chicago nobody could bring down.
- 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.
