Rule 51

What is rule 51 in American football?

Rule 51 is an off-seasonal gridiron rule. It means that only 51 players with the highest seasonal caps take part in the salary cap formation. This is important because the midseason roster from March to September may reach 90 players. The salary cap is limited so the players outside the top 51 contribute only with the help of bonuses. The main victims of this rule are lower drafted picks and free agents.
