He was looking for a new contract at 20 million dollars per season, he finally gets one at 16 million on average annually: P. J. Washington thus extended with Charlotte for three more seasons and $48 million, ESPN announcement.
It is therefore the end of a wait that will have lasted almost two months, since the opening of the market on July 1, for the strong winger of the Hornetswho was “free agent” protected this summer after his franchise offered him a “qualifying offer” of $ 8.5 million.
Eventually, the two sides reached an agreement, and so PJ Washington can finally put his new contract negotiation behind him and look ahead to the Hornets’ next season.
It remains to be seen if he will keep his starting position in Steve Clifford’s five major, alongside Mark Williams, while Gordon Hayward is still there, Miles Bridges is back and Brandon Miller arrives.
