The details of Goodwin’s contract have emerged and it appears to be a team-friendly for the Wizards.
The Wizards have signed Jordan Goodwin to a multi-year contract. While the details of the contract were not originally publicized, they have now come out. Keith Smith of Spotrac recently tweeted out Goodwin’s deal and I think it’s one that Wizards fans should be happy with.
Jordan Goodwin got part of the Non-Taxpayer MLE from the Wizards in his three-year deal:
22-23: $900,000
23-24: $1,927,896
24-25: $2,092,34422-23 is fully guaranteed. 23-24 is $300,000 guaranteed. 24-25 is non-guaranteed. WAS also has a team option for 24-25.@spotrac

As Jahadi White and I discussed on today’s Bleav in Wizards, we both expected him to sign a multi-year deal but were surprised to see how little of it is guaranteed. This is about as risk-free a deal as the Wizards could have hoped for.
Goodwin is a cost-controlled producer who can fill in the gaps around the rest of an expensive core. They need to hope they can find other contributors on team-friendly deals like this one. This is another reason for the team to continue to emphasize development through their G League team.
