The Suns have reached a contract agreement with Jordan Goodwin, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania, who reports (via Twitter) that the free agent guard will sign a three-year, $19MM deal.
Goodwin will receive a player option for the final season (2028/29), Charania adds.
When we previewed the Suns’ offseason, we estimated that Goodwin could receive a three-year, $18MM contract. Phoenix reportedly agreed to re-sign another free agent guard, Collin Gillespie, to fully guaranteed four-year, $48MM deal.
Assuming those two players received standard ascending contracts, which would benefit the Suns’ cap situation, Keith Smith of Spotrac projects the team to be $1.2MM over the luxury tax line in 2026/27 with two open standard roster spots and Mark Williams still a restricted free agent (Twitter link). Smith previously reported that Phoenix made Williams a RFA by issuing the 24-year-old center a $9.6MM qualifying offer.
