In another post to clarify an already existing rule change...
(1) In trades, teams cannot deal more/less than four players than the other trading team(s). In other words, for example, I couldn't trade 7 players for 2 players, 6 players for 1 player, etc. The reason for this change is that it will limit "quantity over quality" trades that are difficult to interpret. Adding more players to a trade may make a deal better but it may not really have any impact longterm.
(2) In the offseason, teams cannot deal free agents unless they are accompanied with a franchise or restricted tag that is to be used on the traded player.

An additional rule change that was made at the same time as part (1) but wasn't listed:
(3) Trades may only include a maximum of 10 players.
This rule was made as a means for cleaner evaluation of trades. With a greater amount of players, the gray area in a trade is larger and thus difficult to evaluate at times.
