Normally, I would be all for trading a good aging player like San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman to help the franchise’s rebuild.
I play Madden Franchise Mode a lot, and I always rebuild bad teams to make them great. What I do is trade almost every player over 26 years old for NFL Draft picks or promising young players on other teams. Because, even if it’s just Madden, that is what rebuilding a team is all about. Just look at what head coach Jon Gruden is doing with the Oakland Raiders. He is going to have five first-round picks in the next two years to use on five impact players that he likes for his team.
