Brisbane Broncos are working on a new deal for star prop Payne Haas to ensure he does not remain off-contract past November 1.
The team and Haas's management are reportedly confident that a new contract will be offered well before his current deal expires in 2026.
Despite salary cap concerns, both parties are optimistic about reaching an agreement.
Haas, who is already one of the highest-paid forwards in the game, is expected to see another pay increase.
He had previously requested a release from the team when it was coached by Kevin Walters, but now appears to be in good form for the 2025 season, playing a significant role in the Broncos' recent victory over the Sydney Roosters.
The timeline for Haas's new deal signifies a commitment from both the player and the team to secure his future with the Broncos.
