Fred VanVleet Contract & Salary

Fred VanVleet is on the books for $25,000,000 in 2026-27, the 3rd largest cap hit on the Houston Rockets roster and 12.5% of the team's $200.4M payroll.

That ranks 76th among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 15.2% of the $165.0M salary cap.

This is an expiring contract: 2026-27 is the last season on it, worth $25,000,000 guaranteed.

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

At 32, this contract runs through his age-32 season, so the back end lands after the usual peak.

He is one of the three highest-paid players on the roster, which puts him in the group the payroll is actually built around.

He is one of 14 players on the Houston Rockets' books for 2026-27, whose 2026-27 salaries add up to $200,413,923.

Houston Rockets sit at $200.4M in payroll and are currently classified Over Cap, with +$8.6M of room below the first apron.
