Trade Value

overall 50.2 × superstar 1.75 × age 28 0.9 × LEDGE 1.15 × contract 0.87

An overpay: $11.4M against the $5.9M 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.

Market Value

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 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 3 · Eight teams still unbeaten, a perfect passer in New York, and a tight end who tied the record book on a Sunday afternoon.
