Jay Clark Breaks Down The Lance Franklin Contract Bombshell

Jay Clark joined JB and Billy on Triple M's Rush Hour on Wednesday, following the bombshell reports that Lance Franklin has been lowballed in contract talks by Sydney.

It was reported in the Herald Sun Franklin has received an offer of $500,000 to play on next year - below the $700,000-$800,000 he is seeking - and is open to moving clubs next season.

"I think we all expected this to be a rubber stamp, a formality sort of situation, Buddy would go on again (at Sydney)," Jay explained.

"If you think about big Melbourne clubs in the window, could work out something like this, where could he land?

"It does make you think, if Dustin Martin wants to get out of the Melbourne fishbowl and go up there to Sydney, enjoy a bit of anonymity up there, would Lance Franklin be in the yellow and black? It is very interesting."
