Jaylon Tyson Contract & Salary

Jaylon Tyson is on the books for $3,658,560 in 2026–27, the 7th largest cap hit on the Cleveland Cavaliers roster and 1.8% of the team's $206.7M payroll.

That ranks 304th among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 2.2% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 2 seasons left on it, running through 2027-28, worth $9,300,060 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $3,658,560 in the first year up to $5,641,500 in the last, a 54% rise across the deal.

Not every year is locked in: 2027-28 team option.

The option year belongs to the team, which makes that season a decision point rather than a commitment: it can be picked up cheaply or declined outright.

At 23, the deal covers his age-23 through age-24 seasons — the prime years teams are usually paying a premium for.

He is the 7th highest-paid of the 14 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.

He is one of 14 players on the Cleveland Cavaliers' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $206,725,846.

Cleveland Cavaliers sit at $206.7M in payroll and are currently classified Tax Payer, with -$3.6M of room below the first apron.
