Jarred Vanderbilt Contract & Salary

Jarred Vanderbilt is on the books for $12,428,571 in 2026-27, the 6th largest cap hit on the Los Angeles Lakers roster and 6.3% of the team's $196.7M payroll.

That ranks 149th among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 7.5% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 2 seasons left on it, running through 2027-28, worth $25,714,285 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $12,428,571 in the first year up to $13,285,714 in the last, a 7% rise across the deal.

Not every year is locked in: 2027-28 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-28 seasons — the prime years teams are usually paying a premium for.

He is the 6th highest-paid of the 15 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.

He is one of 15 players on the Los Angeles Lakers' books for 2026-27, whose 2026-27 salaries add up to $196,696,242.

Los Angeles Lakers sit at $196.7M in payroll and are currently classified Tax Payer, with +$8.1M of room below the first apron.
