Why can’t Tino sign with us for 2025 and just sign a one year deal next year somewhere else / extend at the titans?

Surely it’s only 3 months to enact the clause not 3 months to find a new deal

I'm sure you're not foolish enough to think that Tino is desperate enough to sign with us that he would sign elsewhere for 12 months on the chance we move on from Haas. he's too loyal of a player to do that,
and while i haven't seen his contract, i'd be confident is saying that his get out clause is not open ended. it would have a clock on it.
If we want Tino our only chance for several years would be for next season. but i doubt we could afford him with Patty and Haas already on our books

Payne Haas' manager, Ahmad Merhi said:
“Payne actually got an offer from an NFL club,”
“They called me in March. They felt Payne had the size and dimensions to make it, but their roles seem pretty structured to me.
“The NFL team was genuine about taking him overseas to a camp.
“They wanted Payne to go to a testing camp outside the US where they bring in different athletes from sports around the world.
“The NFL team made the offer but I said what if Payne doesn’t even pass the camp or would that team really take a chance on him, we can’t take that risk.
“The NFL have scouts around the world and they thought Payne had potential, but Payne shut it down pretty quickly, so it shows this is not just about the money for him.”
“My gut feeling is he will stay at the Broncos,” Merhi said.
“I don’t see that Payne has an issue with the club, but the crux of the problem in the first place was Payne feeling his deal wasn’t fair, or reflective of his performances.
“He loves ‘Kevvie’ and he loves the Brisbane Broncos, he loves their fans and everything about the club.
“We have built a pretty good relationship with the Broncos over the last three months and the people that run the show there.
“We’ve had interest from all 16 clubs, we’ve sent out an email letting the clubs know of our off-contract clients and they have all come back about Payne Haas.
“I honestly believe it will be very hard to get him out of there, but he just wants to tick that last box around his value.
“We just want transparency on his true value and Payne employs me, so he will make the final decision.
“I am being totally transparent with the Broncos and his full commitment is to Brisbane until the end of the season.
“He hasn’t had the chance to test his value, so we want to make sure his deal is fair on the open market and if it is, he will never complain in the future.”
“I have had interest from international rugby outfit and their offer was huge,” he said.
“Payne wants to play premiership football, so it’s very easy to work out the top four sides in the comp.
“Last year when he looked at a release, the Broncos weren’t a finals team, but now they are a serious contender.
“We can’t entertain every team, but Payne is competitive and he wants to be in a successful team, which Brisbane are at the moment.
“The Broncos have been offering $1 million for the past two years, even under his previous management. We haven’t been pushing for more money. He was offered a $6 million deal for six years two years ago and he knocked it back prior to me becoming his manager.
“I know several big clubs are keen, everyone has to look at their rosters, but Payne is happy at the Broncos and he likes playing under Kevin Walters, who is a total gentleman.
“If I get an offer from the Broncos I can’t refuse, then we would definitely sign before November 1, but right now it’s in his best interests to wait until November 1.
“For the moment, Payne is committed to Brisbane ... his heart and soul is with them.”
Kevvie said:
“I believe Payne will be wearing a Broncos jersey for the next 10 years,” Walters said.
“We don’t normally like to talk about contracted players, but I will say this about Payne. I believe he will stay a Bronco.
“We have a great environment here, Payne knows we want him to stay and Payne is also aware he loves being at the place.
“We are comfortable with what Payne is doing.
“Out of respect to Payne and his management, they have every right to do that (test the open market).
“We are comfortable with their position.
“We will let things develop and unfold. He isn’t playing for us this week (due to an ankle injury). He is having a spell, but we will get him back next week and we know that he gives his all for whichever jersey he has on.
“My thought personally is that Payne will be a Bronco for life.”
“It’s not a distraction to the playing group,” he said.
“We are very respectful of each individual and their needs.
“Payne has been a great player for us and he will continue to do that.
“He has been under pressure in other areas of his life and his output is still amazing, so it won’t be a distraction at all.”
“You don’t have to be Einstein to work out that everyone will be interested in Payne,” Walters said.
“We believe we have created an environment where everyone wants to stay here and win and be successful.
“We are confident in the groundwork we have done here that all our players coming off contract want to stay here.
“I’m sure between both parties we can get an agreement where we are both happy.”

Admittedly it is highly unlikely but there are a number of solutions if Tino is keen.
1. He enacts his clause to void his contract with the titans and re-signs a 1 year deal. Signs with Broncos for 2025
2. He enacts his clause to void his contract, signs with the broncos for 2025 and goes to the highest bidder for 2024 on a 1 year deal.
Both the above could even potentially have clauses that he can be released early if Broncos offer a contract during 2024 (ie Haas is moved on early). Though they’d be desperate to allow that.
3. Reynolds retires early to allow Tino and Haas to fit in the same team next year and Tyson Gamble returns to lead us to our back to back premiership victory

In a bombshell development, Fa’asuamaleaui will notify the Titans of plans to activate a free-agent’s clause in his contract – allowing the Queensland Origin star to test his value on the open market immediately.
Fa’asuamaleaui’s management will contact the Titans in coming days to advise the club the Maroons enforcer will formally trigger a contractual clause that puts the Gold Coast skipper in the NRL’s shopfront window.
But the Coast have a trump card of their own, with Fa’asumaleaui’s soaring salary – rising to $1 million next year and $1.1m in 2025 – to make it difficult for NRL rivals to beat the Titans in a bidding war.

According to the Badel article. Once Tino notifies the Titans of his intention to activate the clause, he then has 3 months to test the market.

My guess. Haas has already made the decision to sign. He is just trying to get another 100k from the broncos. This will be done within two weeks

Didn’t Tino play quite a bit of first grade for the Storm before moving to GC?

He'd played 5 games from the bench for Melbourne before signing with the Titans for 2.25m for 3 years. It was a huge gamble by them.

Can't remember Tino asking for an immediate release, cause he wanted an upgraded contract. (which had already been upgraded)
