Troy Dye is a career quality starter — a linebacker whose body of work places Dye in the top half of all players at the position historically. The Knox model values sustained contribution over flash, and Dye's career arc reflects exactly that kind of reliable professional-grade performance.
A linebacker with a above-average career — the kind of consistent contributor every roster needs. Solid availability (exceptional availability — almost never missed time) added to their value.
Worth 26 points of value above a freely-available replacement linebacker — top 62% of all 4,649 ranked at the position. 3 of 4 seasons cleared the replacement bar, by +8.7 on average.See board →
