Read the appearance count in context: Brady missed 28 games through injury (calf, inactive, muscle) out of roughly 46 this season. The 5 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 5 appearances.
Rated 9.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~12), then tapers with age. At 34, Brady sits on 3.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Brady's projected Rating — 9.3 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
