John Collins Contract & Salary

John Collins is on the books for $17,000,000 in 2026–27, the 2nd largest cap hit on the Detroit Pistons roster and 11.0% of the team's $154.3M payroll.

That ranks 108th among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 10.3% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 3 seasons left on it, running through 2028-29, worth $17,000,000 in guaranteed money.

The salary is essentially flat across the deal, holding near $17,000,000 every year rather than escalating.

Not every year is locked in: 2027-28 non-guaranteed, 2028-29 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 28, this contract runs through his age-30 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 15 players on the Detroit Pistons' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $154,337,535.

Detroit Pistons sit at $154.3M in payroll and are currently classified Cap Space, with +$54.7M of room below the first apron.
