Coby White Contract & Salary

Coby White is on the books for $26,811,593 in 2026–27, the 1st largest cap hit on the Charlotte Hornets roster and 14.9% of the team's $179.7M payroll.

That ranks 70th among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 16.3% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 3 seasons left on it, running through 2028-29, worth $74,000,000 in guaranteed money.

The money declines rather than climbs, from $26,811,593 down to $22,521,740, a 16% drop that makes the back end easier to absorb in a trade.

Every remaining year is fully guaranteed — no options and no non-guaranteed money, so the full amount is owed regardless of what happens.

At 26, the deal covers his age-26 through age-28 seasons — the prime years teams are usually paying a premium for.

No teammate earns more — he is the highest-paid player on the roster for 2026–27.

He is one of 17 players on the Charlotte Hornets' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $179,704,708.

Charlotte Hornets sit at $179.7M in payroll and are currently classified Over Cap, with +$28.8M of room below the first apron.
