Trading can occur between the player protection day and bid day only for players that have been deemed “protected”. All players traded in this timeframe are not eligible to be switched out, even in the event of a career ending injury. The teams involved in the trade are still allowed to make their one switch, but only with a player that had been part of their original protection package. If the trade is unbalanced, i.e. Team A trades two players to Team B for one player, the open spot created on Team A is not eligible for a switch. This means Team A cannot take one of their previous non-protects and move them into the empty slot created by the trade. However, they are still allowed to make one switch between players that had been part of their original protection package.
In-season trades of Franchise (F) players are covered in the F portion of section D.
