Value Model
Edgework action value · 2025–26
Prices established production (two seasons)at the market’s own pay curve, in today’s cap dollars — not term, growth, aging, or negotiation. How this works
Contract Surplus
+$1.6Munderpaidone-season rating
Produces like #110 of 250 priced forwards on 2025-26 alone (one qualifying season), paid like the #199 — $3.5M (#192 restated).
market pays $5.8M at that rank vs $4.1M in 2026-27 dollars
2025-26 alone: #126 of 249
one-season rating — the blend rests on 2025-26 only (he qualified in one of the two blend seasons); wider uncertainty than a two-season read
AAV $3.5M · 4.2% of cap at signing · $4.1M in 2026-27 dollars
extension signed: $4.7M × 3 from 2027-28 — the surplus above is measured against the 2026-27 hit he carries now.
Below the model’s value/AAV floor — not a headline bargain.
