Current Rule:
8.3.b -Teams are limited to obtaining a maximum of two waiver claim free agents during this (pre-season) period.

Proposed Rule:
8.3.b -Teams are limited to obtaining a maximum of four (instead of two) waiver claim free agents during this period beginning with the 2023 season.

Justification:
NFL players get hurt in Summer Training Camp, sometimes with season ending injuries. With seemingly more and more severe injuries in the NFL, this would allow more flexibility for a team to replace those players for the following season.

as long as those players' salaries that are cut remain with the team.... otherwise it changes from the proposed 'flexibility' and turns into a method to dump unwanted contracts or reduce payroll....

Correct, the salaries of any player cut continues to count against the team's salary cap unless another team signs that player.

how are the claims handled? will they be first come, first served? or based on the order of the previous draft? can someone grab 4 at the start or do they cycle through the league 1 pick at a time?

Claim are handled the same as they have been done in the past. The only change is up to four players instead of two. It is done like, and in the same order as the draft. Every team gets one player only per round.
