Jaren Jackson Jr. Contract & Salary

Jaren Jackson Jr. is on the books for $49,000,000 in 2026–27, the 1st largest cap hit on the Utah Jazz roster and 27.1% of the team's $180.5M payroll.

That ranks 21st among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 29.7% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 4 seasons left on it, running through 2029-30, worth $205,000,000 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $49,000,000 in the first year up to $53,500,000 in the last, a 9% rise across the deal.

Not every year is locked in: 2029-30 player option.

The option year belongs to the player, not the team — he decides whether to take the money or return to the market, so the team cannot count on it either way.

At 27, the deal covers his age-27 through age-30 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 14 players on the Utah Jazz's books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $180,515,680.

Utah Jazz sit at $180.5M in payroll and are currently classified Over Cap, with +$28.5M of room below the first apron.
