The Boston Celtics forward agreed to a five-year, $314 million contract extension, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, on Monday.
Tatum, who helped lead the Celtics to their 18th NBA championship in June, averaged 26.9 points and 8.1 rebounds per game during the regular season. He is one of six Celtics players to make at least three straight All-NBA first teams, and the first since Larry Bird, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
Tatum's deal surpasses that of his teammate Jaylen Brown for the largest contract in NBA history. Here's how the contract stacks up with others throughout sports.
NBAJayson Tatum, Boston Celtics: 5 years, $314 million
The first player to earn $70 million in a single season, Tatum has 2,711 career playoff points, the most by a player age 26 or younger in NBA history, according to ESPN Stats & Information. He averaged 25 points per game during the Celtics' championship run in 2024.

After declining an option to become a free agent in 2022, Beal signed a max contract to remain with the Wizards for the next five seasons. His time in Washington under the extension proved short-lived, however, as he was dealt to the Phoenix Suns last offseason.
Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks: 5 years, $228.2 million
Year signed: 2021
At the time, this was the largest contract in NBA history, but it was well worth it for the Bucks. Antetokounmpo led them to a title and was named Finals MVP in 2020-21. He's only gotten better since then and averaged over 30 points per game in back-to-back seasons for the first time in his career.

Deshaun Watson, Cleveland Browns: 5 years, $230 million (100% of total contract)
Year signed: 2022
Watson's contract is one of the largest in NFL history, but his tenure with the Browns has been marred by an 11-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy by committing sexual assault, as defined by the league. He threw for 7 touchdowns against 5 interceptions in six 2022 starts.
MLBShohei Ohtani, Los Angeles Dodgers: 10 years, $700 million
Year signed: 2023
Entering free agency, Ohtani's market ranged from $500 to $600 million. The Dodgers hit it out of the park with their offer for arguably baseball's best player. Ohtani will not pitch in the upcoming season because of an elbow injury, but will likely be in the mix to make the playoffs for the first time in his career.
Mike Trout, Los Angeles Angels: 12 years, $426.5 million
Year signed: 2019
Trout has been either the best player in baseball or close to it for the better part of a decade, and the Angels rewarded him accordingly. At the time he signed this deal, it was the richest contract in professional American sports. Though he's been hampered by injuries, he played 453 games (and counting) and won the 2019 MVP since the signing.
Mookie Betts, Los Angeles Dodgers: 12 years, $365 million
Year signed: 2021
The Dodgers secured Betts until the 2030s shortly after acquiring him in a trade from the Boston Red Sox. He's had two top-five MVP finishes and a World Series win since then.
Aaron Judge, New York Yankees: 9 years, $360 million
Year signed: 2022

Francisco Lindor, New York Mets: 10 years, $341 million
Year signed: 2021
The Mets signed Lindor to this monster deal shortly before Opening Day 2021, and though he had a disappointing performance that season, he rebounded nicely in 2022 as the team won 101 games. Lindor hit a home run in the postseason, but the Mets fell to the Padres 2-1 in their National League wild-card series.
Fernando Tatis Jr., San Diego Padres: 14 years, $340 million
Year signed: 2021
Tatis had a huge season after signing his contract, hitting a league-leading 42 home runs and putting up 6.6 WAR in 2021. Injuries and a suspension for performance-enhancing drugs caused him to miss the entirety of the 2022 campaign, however.
NHLShea Weber, Nashville Predators: 14 years, $110 million
Year signed: 2012
This is a bit of an odd situation -- despite a distinguished career and five years remaining on his lengthy contract, Weber has been plagued by injuries and hasn't played since the 2020-21 season. It's quite possible that he'll never play in the NHL again.
Sidney Crosby, Pittsburgh Penguins: 12 years, $104.4 million
Year signed: 2013
Sid the Kid won't be a free agent until his age-38 season, but he's still producing for the Penguins. He was 10th in the league in points in 2021-22 and ended 2022-23 in 16th.
Connor McDavid, Edmonton Oilers: 8 years, $100 million
