The Dragons are considering making a dramatic bid to sign Parramatta superstar Jarryd Hayne.

Hayne remains unsigned at the Eels with training for the new season just a couple of weeks away.

Wide World of Sports has heard that the Dragons are looking to sign Hayne and use him as a utility back at either fullback or centre in 2019.

The two-time Dally M Player of the Year’s price has gone down considerably in the wake of a modest season for the Eels and the fact the club is hesitating to re-sign him.

So the Dragons may make Hayne a modest offer to test the waters.

Only a week ago, Eels chief executive Bernie Gurr said the club was in no hurry to re-sign Hayne.

"Certain dominoes need to fall where they need to fall. We’re patient," Gurr told AAP.

A frustrated Hayne vented on Twitter in the wake of that comment, saying he was still waiting for an offer from the Eels.

It is believed one other club has also expressed interest in the former Kangaroo and State of Origin star.
