Trade Value
24
overall 4.5 × normal 1 × age 27 1 × QB 1.75 × contract 1.16
A bargain: $0.8M against the $1.9M a player this good usually costs. Expiring, so it barely moves the number.
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.
