Has Valentine Holmes secured a deal in the NFL?

Rumours began circulating on Sunday evening that the former Shark had signed a deal with a team in the NFL.

Holmes' management team were reportedly contacting media organisations in an attempt to sell the rights to an as yet unknown upcoming announcement.

The matter was discussed on Fox League's 'Controversy Corner' on Sunday night.

"Val Holmes, the former Cronulla Sharks fullback is returning home (on Monday)," Daily Telegraph journo Phil Rothfield said.

"He arrives home at 6am, before Cowboys fans get too excited though... we don't know if he's coming back to play NRL and we don't know if he's going back to play NFL.

"Apparently his manager has been ringing different media networks, obviously there'll be a media scrum at the airport tomorrow.

"I still think it's leaning slightly towards the fact he is going to get a career in NFL."

There are no indications on what kind of contract Holmes will be on, if he indeed has reached a deal with a franchise.

Following his pro day last week, Holmes said he was always intending to return to Australia after having spent the past few months preparing and drilling as he attempts to make the switch to American football.

The former rep star impressed in front of scouts from all 32 NFL teams, running a strong 40-yard time of 4.45.

There were rumours that Holmes was considering a return to the NRL amid homesickness but, on the back of his strong showing at his pro day, plenty of pundits reckon he's in with a shot at making in the NFL.
