Trade Value

overall 5.46 × normal 1 × age 23 1.12 × MIKE 0.85 × contract 1.16
A bargain: $0.8M against the $1.6M a player this good usually costs. 2 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 17 · Denver and Cincinnati both push to 16-0 with one week left, Jahmyr Gibbs runs for 221 yards and four touchdowns to close in on the rushing record, and Riley Leonard's near-flawless day leads the Jets to a 37-0 shutout of New England.
- 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 8 · Green Bay and Denver both push to 8-0, Cincinnati and Washington join them at 7-0, and San Francisco's perfect season ends in New York as the league's unbeaten group narrows to exactly four.
- 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.
