Trade Value

overall 151.35 × x-factor 2.2 × age 25 1 × WR 1.15 × contract 0.82
An overpay: $20.0M against the $11.3M a player this good usually costs. 5 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. 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. 3, Issue 1 · Josh Allen goes first, quarterbacks go one through five, and 1,728 picks later the HFL has 32 new rosters for Season IX. Veronica "Ronnie" Ruckus takes over the desk, and HFL-NN goes on the air.
- 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 2 · Ten teams unbeaten, ten teams winless, and one cornerback with the record book in his hands.
