Delisted GWS forward Jesse Hogan has met with four clubs, and Carlton has joined the race for his services.
The Giants confirmed Hogan's departure on Tuesday, and he has already been linked to Collingwood and Gold Coast.
All three clubs have a need inside forward 50, with the Blues looking to pair Harry McKay and mobile talls Mitch McGovern and Brodie Kemp.
The Pies need key position assistance despite the impressive form of Dan McStay and Tim Membrey in the back half of the season.
The Suns will lose Ben King as a restricted free agent, who is set to join Hawthorn in the off-season.
The Blues are in the market for a key forward, including Hogan, according to a report on Footy Classified.
Sydney's Joel Amartey is also weighing up his future, with Carlton showing strong interest.
Hogan dealt with injuries throughout the 2026 season, limiting his output to nine games and 12 goals.
In 2024, he claimed the Coleman Medal with 77 majors, and has kicked at least 46 goals in the seasons either side of that campaign.
“Jesse has made a significant contribution to the Giants over the past six seasons, and we're incredibly grateful for everything he has brought to our football club,” GWS Executive General Manager of Football Jason McCartney said.
“We've seen Jesse at his best in the orange and charcoal and know what he's capable of when he's able to play with consistency.
“However, as we look ahead, we believe this is the right time for Jesse to pursue a new opportunity while we continue to shape our forward line for the years ahead.
“Again, we're thankful for everything he gave our club, and we wish all the best with what comes next.”
