Nuggets’ Jerami Grant expected to opt out of $9.3MM deal for next season
A league source suggested Grant could command anywhere from $14 million to $16 million annually over several years
Jerami Grant is expected to opt out of his $9.3MM deal with the Denver Nuggets to become free agent.
Per Denver Post, Grant is due $9.3 million next season if he decides to opt into the final year of his current contract, according to hoopshype.com’s salary database. A league source suggested Grant could command anywhere from $14 million to $16 million annually over several years.
A little more than $44 million in salary obligations will come off Denver’s books this offseason with the contracts for Paul Millsap ($30.3 million) and Mason Plumlee ($14.0 million) both expiring. There should be room to give Grant a raise, but maybe not enough to keep all three with Jamal Murray’s five-year, $170 million contract also kicking in.
