The 30 biggest 2027 cap hits. A trade leaves his unpaid bonus as dead money; his guaranteed pay goes with him. Doesn't count who replaces him on the roster.

Contract terms as reported (ESPN); cap hits and dead money worked out by Hizzle under the league's rules. Estimated means a detail wasn't reported.
