Available salary cap exceptions

Salary Index  Guide  Cap Exceptions  Trade Exceptions  Free Agent Cap Holds  Draft Pick Cap Holds


The following is a list of the salary cap exceptions available to each team. There are eleven exceptions to the salary cap altogether, and this page only covers four, but that's because the others (Larry Bird Exception, Early Bird Exception, Non-Bird Exception, Minimum Salary Exception, Rookie Scale Exception, the other Traded Player Exception (see trade exceptions page) and the Reinstatement Exception) are non-exhaustive. And these ones aren't.

List updated as of October 31st 2009.
