The Top 51 Rule expires 90 days from now on Thursday, September 5th, 2013 at 12:00 AM EST.

This is as per ProFootballTalk.com's post from yesterday on the 2013-1014 NFL Calendar. That's slightly less than 90 days from now that teams will adjust to the changes that include accounting for the 52nd and 53rd men on the 53-man roster as well as all 8 players on the Practice Squad, players on IR, players on the PUP list (the Giants may have a few of those going into the season opener on September 8th possibly including Markus Kuhn, JPP, &  Henry Hynoski), and a few other categories including the following for former players:

  • Dead money
  • Salary paid prior to release
  • Guaranteed Salary
  • Grievances
  • Injury Settlements
  • Termination Pay

Watch from the 33:05 mark to the 34:41 mark of Jason Fitzgerald's "Caponomics 101" video for a nice summary of who counts towards the Regular Season Salary Cap rules.
