Second, though admittedly lesser without Brees, this roster is still stocked with only a few holes, we're just looking for best available to push, improve our roster...

The 51 Rule is only until after the last preseason game then they all count against the cap.

51 is solely to allow teams to carry as many players as they want for evaluation purposes until preseason is over. After that even the practice squad goes against the cap.
