Updated · 2026–27 season

Patrick Williams is on the books for $18,000,000 in 2026–27, the 4th largest cap hit on the Chicago Bulls roster and 11.1% of the team's $161.9M payroll.

That ranks 103rd among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 10.9% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 3 seasons left on it, running through 2028-29, worth $54,000,000 in guaranteed money.

The salary is essentially flat across the deal, holding near $18,000,000 every year rather than escalating.

Not every year is locked in: 2028-29 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 25, the deal covers his age-25 through age-27 seasons — the prime years teams are usually paying a premium for.

He is the 4th highest-paid of the 14 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.

He is one of 14 players on the Chicago Bulls' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $161,925,408.

Chicago Bulls sit at $161.9M in payroll and are currently classified Cap Space, with +$44.8M of room below the first apron.
