==Trades==
Teams were reluctant to trade initially due to the troubled economic times and the general desire to concentrate on building a well-rounded team as opposed to making profits out of trades.<ref name=trade>{{cite news | url=http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/holnus/007200901231664.htm | title=7 players transferred in IPL trades |agency=[[Associated Press|AP]] |newspaper=[[The Hindu]] | date=23 January 2009 | accessdate=2009-03-11 | location=Chennai, India| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20090314125931/http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/holnus/007200901231664.htm| archivedate= 14 March 2009 | url-status= live}}</ref>

With most international players (barring members of the England squad and [[Indian Cricket League]] players) signing up for the first season on multi-season contracts, the emphasis for off-season signings for 2009 were possible up-and-coming young players from international domestic circuits. Some teams, including the [[Delhi Daredevils]] sent [[Scout (sport)|scouts]] to domestic and 'emerging player' matches held in Australia to sign up players.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://content.cricinfo.com/ipl2009/content/story/388003.html | title=Players unsold at auction available as replacements | work=Cricinfo | date=27 January 2009 | accessdate=2009-03-11| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20090308153822/http://content.cricinfo.com/ipl2009/content/story/388003.html| archivedate= 8 March 2009 | url-status= live}}</ref>

==Re-signings==
IPL Replacement Players, filling in for players away on national duty, and some under-19 players, were recruited with a one-year contract and hence their franchises had the choice to resign them or release them as free agents.

==Withdrawals==
Other players opted to withdraw from this particular season from the IPL, but have not ruled out returning in the future. In most cases, the reason for withdrawal was that the players wanted a break from the hectic international schedule. There have also been withdrawals due to injury and also Pakistanis who have had their contracts terminated or suspended due to tensions between India and Pakistan since the [[2008 Mumbai attacks|Mumbai Terrorist Attacks]]. Most withdrawals were Australian international players, for whom the IPL would be the only break between a series against Pakistan and the upcoming long tour of England which would include [[The Ashes]] series. Withdrawals included:
