Taylor Funk is off the Utah Jazz roster as of Friday, Oct. 16. No report preceded the move, and no contract is on file yet.

The move

Taylor Funk is off the Utah Jazz roster, a change detected from the team's official roster on Friday, Oct. 16. The 28-year-old forward, a rookie, had been on Utah's roster before this move. No report preceded the move; none is logged. The move is listed only as leaving the roster, with no further transaction type confirmed, and no destination club is named.

The money

Funk's contract is not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing by a day, so no cap hit or years are confirmed. The Jazz carry $181.9 million in payroll across 15 contracts for 2026-27. That is over the $165.0 million cap but under the $200.4 million luxury tax line. Utah sits below both the $209.0 million first apron and the $221.7 million second apron. Until his contract is filed, Funk's exact financial impact on that payroll cannot be stated.

The fit

Funk has no NBA line from last season. At forward, Utah's rotation last season featured Lauri Markkanen at 34.3 minutes and 26.7 points per game, and Ace Bailey at 27.6 minutes and 13.8 points per game. Utah's roster now stands at 19 players, 15 on standard contracts and three on two-way deals, so this move trims from a roster already above the standard 15-man limit. No further detail on Funk's role is on file.
