Almost every club in the NRL will throw their hat in the ring to chase Jack Wighton's signature as the Canberra Raiders star prepares to go on the market for the first time in 14 years.

It sparked questions about the reasons behind the decision. It will likely be the most lucrative contract of Wighton's career, so he wants to upgrade the $900,000 he was expected to earn in Canberra next year.
