Amid the continued spread of the coronavirus, the NFL reportedly sent a memo to teams recommending adding contingency language to trade agreements should a player be unable to take and pass a physical as a result of "special rules regarding COVID-19."

The report from NFL Network's Tom Pelissero notes that teams can't officially announce a player has agreed to a contract pending a physical. That may mean a slow down of breaking news from teams themselves as they continue to navigate the NFL's current landscape.

The league has currently restricted players from visiting club facilities through March 31.
