Updated · 2026–27 season
Jakob Poeltl is on the books for $19,500,000 in 2026–27, the 5th largest cap hit on the Toronto Raptors roster and 9.8% of the team's $199.8M payroll.
That ranks 98th among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 11.8% of the $165.0M salary cap.
The deal has 5 seasons left on it, running through 2030-31, worth $103,584,000 in guaranteed money.
The money climbs as it goes: $19,500,000 in the first year up to $27,300,000 in the last, a 40% rise across the deal.
Not every year is locked in: 2029-30 non-guaranteed.
The non-guaranteed money is not real money until it is: the team can waive him before the guarantee date and carry none of it, which is why the guaranteed total below is lower than the headline number.
At 30, this contract runs through his age-34 season, so the back end lands after the usual peak.
He is the 5th highest-paid of the 13 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.
He is one of 13 players on the Toronto Raptors' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $199,831,125.
Toronto Raptors sit at $199.8M in payroll and are currently classified Over Cap, with +$2.3M of room below the first apron.
