Contract options
Seasons are labelled by the year they end. Team options and qualifying offers are shown but not counted in the payroll until they are exercised; two-way and non-guaranteed money is counted in the payroll but not in the "Guaranteed" figure. Rows marked "Not on roster" are dead money — salary still charged to the team's books for players who were waived, stretched or moved.
