Tari Eason Contract & Salary

Tari Eason is on the books for $14,053,356 in 2026–27, the 5th largest cap hit on the Houston Rockets roster and 7.0% of the team's $200.4M payroll.

That ranks 133rd among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 8.5% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 5 seasons left on it, running through 2030-31, worth $81,449,460 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $14,053,356 in the first year up to $18,550,428 in the last, a 32% rise across the deal.

Not every year is locked in: 2030-31 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-29 seasons — the prime years teams are usually paying a premium for.

He is the 5th highest-paid of the 14 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.

He is one of 14 players on the Houston Rockets' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $200,413,923.

Houston Rockets sit at $200.4M in payroll and are currently classified Over Cap, with +$8.6M of room below the first apron.
