Value vs cost

This preview pairs on-field value with contract cost — the APY as a share of the season's salary cap. High value at a low cap % is the bargain signal; the surplus-value over/underpaid verdict arrives in a later release. No verdict is implied here.

Value score is a 0–100 rating within each position group for the 2024 season. EPA value is net expected points added — a season total, not a per-play rate or a wins figure. Cap % is the contract's APY (average $/yr) as a share of that season's salary cap — its market rate, not the single-season cap charge; “no deal on file” means no contract data, not a $0 deal. Confidence reflects sample size (games and usage).
