In the NFL, players are signed to a specific team they will play for but they will not always play for this team for the rest of their career. The players do not have any control on whether they are decided or not, it is all up to the team if they want to trade a player or get rid of players. The teams organization is the ones who take all the steps to trade a player and sign an athlete that they have been keeping their eyes on. Some athletes are unaware of them being traded because of the shadiness from the organization. Some teams will connect with each other and decide which players each teams need and will trade off their players to each other. Depending on the age of the players and the way they play in the game will decide whether they stay a part of the team or will they be placed onto another team. Most older players are dealing with unfair trades and having to move away from their families because they can no longer play for the same team. Trading in the NFL is a big thing and can determine a lot, how the season will go and how many games the team will win. Some athletes get traded more than others and some players are wanted by more teams so not they are stuck between where they are headed. Every year there are trades and athletes can be traded at any time during the season which can stir up a lot of chaos.
