The year might be just a week away from ticking into August, but there are still plenty of players without a deal for 2027.
Zero Tackle's NRL squad tracker currently has 121 spots available for 2027, and that means there are a host of players still to sort out their futures.
We look at the top ten left available on the open market with plenty of clubs still on the lookout for talent to complete their rosters.
A handful of players, like Daly Cherry-Evans who has an option at the Roosters, and Josh Papalii who will either retire or head to the English Super League, have been excluded.

6. Jamie Humphreys (South Sydney Rabbitohs)
Jamie Humphreys became the highest profile player to backflip in a number of years recently when his contract with the Perth Bears which was reportedly all done bar the announcement was axed.
It leaves Humphreys on the open market, and one of the best to be left there for 2027 and beyond.
The Rabbitohs, in an ideal world, may want to keep Humphreys, but they are a club with a stretched salary cap and unclear idea on Latrell Mitchell's future at the moment, seeing them pause all negotiations recently.
Humphreys seems at long odds to stay at the Rabbitohs, but just maybe, a club like the Canterbury Bulldogs will come knocking.
He must have something lined up to snub the Bears. Expect an announcement sooner rather than later.
