Josh Addo-Carr might be in the bad books at the Bulldogs, but that has not stopped rival teams from reaching out about the former Origin star's availability.
The winger missed his team's first finals game in nearly a decade earlier this month, choosing to stand himself down amidst the ongoing drug scandal he was involved in.
This scandal has threatened to cut short his tenure with the Bulldogs, and while the team has said for the time being they would not be axing the player, it hasn't stopped the rest of the league from seeing if they can convince Canterbury to part with the embattled star.

Dragons offer Bulldogs shock player-swap for embattled star
The St. George-Illawarra Dragons are in the market for a new star winger, following the departure of Zac Lomax this off-season.
While the team is bringing in Valentine Holmes, they are also apparently keen on adding Addo-Carr to the mix, at the expense of an existing player.
According to the Daily Telegraph, the Dragons offered a straight player swap Addo-Carr for Mikaele Ravalawa, a proposed deal that was swiftly rejected.
While this swap did not go through, it shows a clear interest in Addo-Carr's services, despite his issues at his current club.
