History

Historical Context

The NFL's focus on player safety intensified after years of controversy over concussions, particularly following the 2009 acknowledgment of a link between head injuries and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). In 2018, stricter health protocols were implemented, exemplified by the Baltimore Ravens voiding a trade due to a failed physical. This trend underscores the league's ongoing commitment to prioritizing player health in trade negotiations.
