There aren’t many things that age gracefully. Wine. Denim. Leather boots. Cast-iron skillets. A few cheeses, maybe. And now, something new to the list: Josh Giddey’s contract extension.
A little over a week ago, Chicago signed Giddey to a four-year, $100 million deal. It averages $25 million annually, but in all likelihood, he’ll earn closer to $22 million next season, with the contract set to rise in value year over year.
According to Spotrac, Giddey is projected to earn $22.3 million at 23, $24.1 million at 24, $25.9 million at 25, and $27.7 million at 26 before hitting unrestricted free agency in 2029.
