Trade Value

overall 55.08 × superstar 1.75 × age 24 1.04 × HB 0.75 × contract 1.25

A bargain: $2.5M against the $5.4M 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 23 · Green Bay beats Houston 34-10 to win the HFL Championship, closing a 16-1 season and the entire Madden 26 cycle in the same afternoon -- no box score survives from the game itself, only the final score. Inside: the full Season VIII retrospective, all four champions of the cycle, Jenna Tulls's farewell column, and the league's introduction to its next correspondent.
  • 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 10 · Three teams are still unbeaten through ten weeks, De'Von Achane runs for 248 yards and four touchdowns, and a Buccaneers tight end delivers the two touchdowns that hold off Cleveland.
  • Vol. 2, Issue 9 · A rookie quarterback ends Washington's perfect season, Green Bay and Denver both push to 9-0, and a kicker in Los Angeles breaks a record that has stood since the league's first season.
  • 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 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 6 · The season's first bye week thinned the slate to fourteen games and the league still found a way to rewrite the record book, play a 66-50 shootout, and send three teams to 6-0.
  • 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 4 · A rushing record falls in Denver, four winless teams finally win, and Philadelphia wins by seventeen with nineteen passing yards.
