Parramatta have re-signed four players - but Jarryd Hayne is not among them.
The Eels on Tuesday announced extending the deals of David Gower, Peni Terepo, George Jennings and Kaysa Pritchard.
Gower and Pritchard have signed for one more year, while Terepo and Jennings penned new two-year contracts for the western Sydney NRL club.
It means Hayne will officially be without a club when his deal expires at close of business on Wednesday, one day before the playing group return for pre-season.
Hayne's future has been clouded as he and the club remain locked in negotiations on a new contract, with the length of the deal believed to be the sticking point.

The Eels also revealed Gower had begun an off-field role with the club, working one day a week in their wellbeing and education department.
Next season will be Gower's final campaign before retirement.
"I'm committed to giving it my all for the Eels in 2019, and while that is my main focus, it's important to consider life after retirement," Gower said.
"I'm grateful to the Eels club for its support, they helped develop a plan to ensure I have the level of support necessary to play in the NRL while making the transition outside of football easier for me and my family."
