Player Trade Value in 2017

Related Topics: Ryan Pace

Since Ryan Pace took over as general manager of the Chicago Bears in 2015, there have been 88 player trades that were “one-sided”, meaning that there was only an actual player on one side of the trade. Because of this one-sidedness, it is possible to use these trades to figure out roughly what a player is “valued at” in the NFL. The short answer is “not a lot.”

Before digging into any great detail, I’ll explain my methodology. I went through every player transaction listed on Spotrac and eliminated every trade that had multiple players. I then accounted for each draft pick that was traded and matched it to the value offered by Rich Hill’s revised trade chart (which I have found to be slightly more accurate than the old Jimmy Johnson chart).
