Rockets re-signing Jae'Sean Tate (three years, $22M) - NBC Sports
Like the Thunder with Luguentz Dort, the Rockets' declined Jae'Sean Tate's minimum-salary team option in order to let him become a free agent a year early.
www.nbcsports.comI can’t access live updates from here, but here’s what’s known about Jae’Sean Tate’s contract status in recent years:
- In 2022, Tate re-signed with the Houston Rockets on a three-year deal worth about $22.1 million, after the team declined his 2022-23 option to pursue a longer-term agreement.[1][2][4][8]
- In 2025, reports and outlets indicated Tate was expected to re-sign with Houston on a one-year, minimum-salary deal, a typical move for a veteran role player to facilitate team flexibility; later that summer, there were confirmations of a one-year agreement on a minimum contract.[3][6][7]
- By mid-2025 into 2026, Tate remained with the Rockets on short-term deals, reflecting Houston’s ongoing assessment of his fit alongside younger players and cap considerations.[6][3]
Latest status as of May 2026 may have evolved, but the most recent widely reported arrangements were:
- A potential one-year, minimum-salary agreement in 2025 to 2026 period, sustaining him with Houston on short-term terms rather than a long-term extension.[3][6]
