The duo have been given until Friday to accept the respective multi-million dollar four-year contracts offered by the Tigers.

Woods is being courted by Canterbury who also have Tedesco in their sights.

Tedesco is also considering an offer from the Roosters.

"Constant speculation has led us to put deadlines on the offers to both James Tedesco and Aaron Woods," Cleary said.

More to come.
