On the face of it, August is the wrong time to be hunting a club, but Rees-Zammit’s abilities and profile mean that plenty will be keen to find room in their budget.
“He’s still so young,” former Wales scrum-half Richie Rees told BBC Radio Wales Breakfast.
“He is explosive and his repeated speed, his lateral movement, is one of the best in the business and that’s why he went on the British and Irish Lions tour last time.”
Rees-Zammit’s tally of 32 caps means he can play outside Wales and still be eligible for Test rugby under the Welsh Rugby Union’s (WRU) selection policy.
Japan and France is where the money is in rugby and he was linked with several Top 14 clubs before making his move to American football.
If his destination is England, then Gloucester, where he made his name with dazzling displays at Kingsholm, would appear to be a good fit on a playing front, but there will be salary cap issues.
If Rees-Zammit fancies being part of an exciting project then the news Red Bull are poised to invest in Newcastle might have made his ears prick up.
The Falcons could be keen for a poster boy and there is a fast track at Kingston Park.
Then there is R360, a potential breakaway franchise league that wants to attract superstars with a view to a first season between September and December 2026.
However, there are still questions about what that ambitious competition will look like and Rees-Zammit has surely had enough inactivity in the NFL and will not be short of suitors.
