About this cap sheet
Explore Toronto Raptors's contracts, future payroll, draft picks, cap holds, and exceptions. Salary, cap holds, and available spending exceptions are different measures; a team's payroll alone does not determine its available cap room. Cap holds explained · Data and methodology

Cap Hold
Fundamentals
A placeholder amount charged against a team's cap for free agents whose rights they hold. Cap holds count toward team salary even though no contract exists. Teams must renounce a player's rights to remove the cap hold, but doing so means losing the ability to re-sign that player using Bird rights.
