As of February 2025, there is no publicly available information indicating that Reece Walsh has signed a $700 million contract to leave his current team. In fact, in November 2024, Walsh signed a lucrative four-year extension with the Brisbane Broncos, reportedly worth $4.4 million, which will keep him with the club until at least the end of 2029.

This contract extension makes Walsh the highest-paid player in the Broncos’ history, with his earnings set to exceed $1.2 million in the final year of the agreement. The deal underscores the Broncos’ commitment to retaining the young talent and highlights Walsh’s significant value to the team.
Given the substantial nature of Walsh’s recent contract extension, a $700 million deal would be unprecedented in the National Rugby League (NRL) and is not currently reported or anticipated. For context, the largest contracts in sports history have been in Major League Baseball (MLB), with players like Shohei Ohtani and Juan Soto securing deals worth $700 million and $765 million, respectively.

Therefore, any reports suggesting that Reece Walsh has signed a $700 million contract to leave his current team are not substantiated by available information as of February 2025.
