Free agent center Zach Collins has reached an agreement on a two-year, $17 million contract extension to remain with the Chicago Bulls, according to sources via ESPN. The deal ensures that the veteran big man will stay in Chicago as a key piece of the team's frontcourt rotation for the foreseeable future.
The agreement, which averages $8.5 million per season, comes as the Chicago Bulls prioritize roster continuity heading into the upcoming season. By securing Zach Collins now, the organization avoids the risks of unrestricted free agency and solidifies their depth at the center position. The 26-year-old has established himself as a reliable interior presence, and this extension reflects the front office's commitment to his role within the current roster structure.
Per the reported terms, the contract will keep Collins under team control through the next two seasons. While the total value is confirmed at $17 million, no further details regarding specific incentives or potential player options have been made public at this time. This move marks a significant early transaction for the Bulls as they manage their salary cap while keeping their rotation intact.
