Contract values & cap context

Annual rates and deal averages for the 2027 squad, with dated historical or future figures where the current price is unavailable. All figures are AUD; click each amount for its source.

A$7.68m (63.5%) is not accounted for by these figures. This includes undisclosed contracts and is not available cap space.

8 players have a sourced price indication; 18 listed players have no verified amount. 2 historical, future, imprecise or non-comparable figures are displayed but excluded from the subtotal.

This subtotal is an indicative sum of public reports, not the full squad wage bill or an audited cap charge. The percentage compares this partial subtotal with the cap benchmark; it does not measure actual cap usage. Unpriced players remain unknown.

Maximum benchmark: A$11.70m base plus up to A$0.30m veteran/developed-player and A$0.10m vehicle allowances. Allowance eligibility and cap adjustments can vary.
