Recent reports have surfaced contradicting Dylan Brown's claim that his $13 million contract with the Newcastle Knights has no get-out clauses.
While Brown stated in an interview with SMH that there were no such conditions in his new deal, journalist Andrew Webster suggested otherwise during a segment on NRL360.
Webster mentioned that both Brown and the club do have exit options in the final two years of the ten-year agreement, despite Brown's initial statement.
Although Webster did not disclose his source or provide concrete evidence to support his assertion, he confidently stated, "They actually both have get-out clauses for the last two years of the ten-year deal."
The controversy surrounding the alleged get-out clauses has led to speculation about the terms of Brown's contract with the Knights.
It was noted that Brown's previous contract with the Eels included a clause allowing him to leave six years early to join a rival club from 2026, raising questions about the details of his current deal.
Webster's comments suggested that the presence of these exit options in the final two years of the contract might appease concerns within the Knights' old boy network, who reportedly have reservations about the agreement.
Despite the conflicting information presented by Brown and Webster, the specifics of the contract remain unclear.
While Brown appeared to be confident in asserting that there were no get-out clauses in his deal with the Knights, Webster's claim has added a layer of doubt to the situation.
As the debate continues, it is uncertain whether additional details will emerge to clarify the terms of Brown's commitment to the Knights.
