Zach Collins is on the books for $8,500,000 in 2026-27, the 9th largest cap hit on the Chicago Bulls roster and 5.2% of the team's $164.7M payroll.

That ranks 194th among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 5.2% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 2 seasons left on it, running through 2027-28, worth $17,000,000 in guaranteed money.

The salary is essentially flat across the deal, holding near $8,500,000 every year rather than escalating.

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 28, this contract runs through his age-29 season, so the back end lands after the usual peak.

He is the 9th 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 $164,694,624.
