I think it's actually only top 51

Your comment caused me to look it up, because I thought it was the top 53.  It turns out it's the top 51 until the beginning of the regular season, at which time it is the top 53.

I don't know why they exempt the bottom 2 spots in the offseason like that.

Aslo, according to overthecap.com, we can create up to $44 million in additional cap space by doing "simple restructures."  A simple restructure is where you declare a player's salary for this year to be a bonus instead of salary.  Then you can spread our the salary cap hit over the remainder of the contract.  It doesn't even require the permission of the player, since it doesn't affect his cash flow at all.
