Boston used its full non-taxpayer mid-level exception to sign Mitchell Robinson. That hard-caps the team at the first apron, so payroll cannot go above $209,015,000 for any reason this season.
Staying under the tax line avoids a tax bill this season and helps reset the repeater-tax clock.
Two-way and training-camp deals don't count until they're guaranteed or converted.

Cap Terms, Plainly
- Luxury tax line
- The payroll level where a team starts paying a tax on every dollar over. For 2026-27 it's $200,428,000.
- First apron
- A payroll level above the tax ($209,015,000 this season). Going over it takes away some trade and signing tools.
- Hard cap
- Using certain moves, like the full non-taxpayer mid-level exception, bars a team from going over the first apron for the rest of the season.
- Exhibit 10
- A non-guaranteed training-camp deal that can be converted into a two-way contract.
