Zach Collins is on the books for $8,500,000 in 2026–27, the 8th largest cap hit on the Chicago Bulls roster and 5.2% of the team's $161.9M payroll.

That ranks 193rd among the 444 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 8th 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.
