Miami Heat

Who are the Miami Heat free agents in 2026-27?

The Heat have 7 free agents carrying cap holds for 2026-27, led by Terry Rozier, Simone Fontecchio, Keshad Johnson.

This includes a projected signing that is not yet official, so these figures are an estimate.

Terry Rozier (Bird 150%)

$40.0M

Simone Fontecchio (Early Bird (130%))

$10.8M

Keshad Johnson (Non-Bird (120%))

$2.6M

Trevor Keels (Minimum hold)

$2.2M

Vladislav Goldin (Minimum hold)

$2.2M

Ryan Conwell (Minimum hold)

$2.2M

Tre Donaldson (Minimum hold)

$2.2M

Total holds

$62.2M

Each unsigned free agent occupies a cap hold sized by his Bird bracket (a percentage of his previous salary), totalling $62.2M on the Heat's books. Holds count against the cap only, never the tax or aprons.

Each hold stays until the player re-signs, signs elsewhere, or is renounced. Renouncing clears the hold instantly but surrenders the Bird rights to re-sign him over the cap.

The rule behind this

A cap hold is a placeholder the league parks on a team's cap for each of its own free agents. It isn't money paid to anyone, it's a reserved spot, sized as a percentage of the player's previous salary (his Bird bracket).
