A big question is how contract insurance works in the event of a trade. I couldn't find much recent info, but it seems most teams insure their highest paid 5-7 players through a league-wide policy (Geico) and premiums are determined accordingly...but I wonder how that works with a player trade? Would the coverage/premium be transferable?

Good question. I was also wondering about how the insurance works.
