Jarryd Hayne NFL retirement: Rugby Sevens, Rugby League, San Francisco 49ers fans left with burning questions after shock move

Jarryd Hayne has retired from the NFL to pursue an Olympic gold medal in rugby sevens. Fans from NFL, rugby union and rugby league are left with questions.

Jarryd Hayne has retired from the NFL. He was due to start Organised Team Activities with the San Francisco 49ers squad this Tuesday. Haye was not guaranteed to make the team's final 53-man roster this season.

Hayne played for the 49ers during his eight-game stint in the NFL. He is the first Australian to receive and return in an NFL game. The only rugby league-NFL crossover record he hasn't achieved is scoring a rugby League try and NFL touchdown. He was the tenth Australian player to play in NFL and the third non-punter.

Fiji are favourites to win the inaugural Olympic rugby sevens title in Rio. They sit on top of the current World Sevens Series standings on 166 points. Fiji will play in the London Seven's this weekend. It's Jarryd Hayne's only chance to play a competitive tournament before the Olympics kick off in August.

Hayne is a rugby sevens player. Fiji coach Ben Ryan is unsure if he will make the Olympic squad. If he does, he'll come into the Fiji camp for the Olympics period. If not, Hayne will play for Fiji in the Rugby Sevens. He will also play in NFL for San Francisco 49ers.

Jarryd Hayne is leaving the NFL and will be the most sought after player for 2017. The Roosters are favourites to sign him. Penrith has made no bones about their plan to transform Matt Moylan into a five-eighth down the road. St George Illawarra is also in the market for a fullback. Gold Coast has plenty of cash to splash on a new no.1. The Panthers' ability to pursue Haye would be dependent on them not signing Corey Norman or Test prop James Tamou.
