Cedric Coward Contract & Salary

Cedric Coward is on the books for $6,001,080 in 2026-27, the 8th largest cap hit on the Memphis Grizzlies roster and 5.0% of the team's $120.6M payroll.

That ranks 235th among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 3.6% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 3 seasons left on it, running through 2028-29, worth $20,630,743 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $6,001,080 in the first year up to $8,342,743 in the last, a 39% rise across the deal.

Not every year is locked in: 2028-29 team option.

The option year belongs to the team, which makes that season a decision point rather than a commitment: it can be picked up cheaply or declined outright.

At 23, the deal covers his age-23 through age-25 seasons — the prime years teams are usually paying a premium for.

He is the 8th highest-paid of the 15 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.

He is one of 15 players on the Memphis Grizzlies' books for 2026-27, whose 2026-27 salaries add up to $120,551,052.
