DET · 2025-26Contract control horizonJun 30, 2027

Daniss Jenkins has a reported contract-control horizon through the 2027 season. The June 30 date is a season-boundary planning proxy, not proof of exact free-agency status. The player is inside the two-season extension-review horizon, but exact eligibility and value are not certified.

Function scores, roles, dependence records and contract events are separate evidence. No combined player value, trade value or ranking is computed from them, and none of them is a causal impact claim.
