Brett Deledio is likely to stay at Punt Road, according to Herald Sun reports on Monday.
Deledio, 29, was interested moving to Geelong but a bulging salary cap and a lack of a suitable trade option has held that up. The Cats were not willing to give up midfielder Josh Caddy, in whom the Tigers had expressed interest.
The Age reports that if the Cats were to give up Caddy, they would want a second-round pick plus Deledio.
The Tiger will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of 2017.
