Positive numbers are room under the line; negative numbers are over it. Tax and apron payroll counts contracts, dead money, and drafted rookies (booked as signed); free-agent cap holds never count. The apron columns also count each team's unlikely bonuses, incentive money a player probably won't earn that counts against the aprons but not the tax.
