About this cap sheet

Explore Utah Jazz'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

Teams above the first apron can only take back 100% of outgoing salary in trades. Open in glossary →

Salary cap $165.0M Teams above this line can no longer use cap space to add salary — they sign and trade using exceptions instead. Luxury tax line $201.0M Total salary above this line is taxed, at escalating rates the further over you go. First apron $209.0M A hard ceiling for some moves — above it a team loses the bi-annual exception, sign-and-trade acquisitions, and the full mid-level. Second apron $222.0M The harshest tier — above it a team loses aggregation, the taxpayer mid-level, and can have future first-round picks frozen.
