Brooks has played all 11 seasons of his career at the Tigers but has been maligned by the club's fanbase for his inability to inspire a finals berth during that time.
The 28-year-old is earning more than $1 million this season, the last of his contract, and has been able to negotiate with rivals since November.
Amid speculation a fresh start could be just what he needed, Brooks was linked with a move to Newcastle last year but it was his previous halves partner Jackson Hastings who ended up making the move to the Knights.
Coach Tim Sheens has been a staunch defender of Brooks, moving Hastings on in the off-season to ensure Brooks and Adam Doueihi could play together in the halves.
But the Tigers have since played the market for a new half, making a failed play to lure halfback Mitchell Moses back from Parramatta.
Since then, the Tigers have been linked to Canberra playmaker Jack Wighton, who told the Raiders last month he would test the open market for 2024 and beyond.
Tigers back-rower John Bateman encouraged his former Raiders teammate to seriously consider making the move when quizzed earlier this week.
Wighton's market value sits above or around seven figures, meaning the Tigers would likely be unable to retain Brooks and successfully lock down the 2020 Dally M Medallist.
As the club weighs its options up, Brooks insists his immediate future is of no concern as long as the Tigers (0-5) continue to languish at the bottom of the ladder.
"To be honest, I haven't really thought about it," he said.
"There's a lot going on. That's the last thing on my mind. I'll worry about that when it comes.
"At the moment, I'm just focusing on trying to get a win."
Any new contract would likely stretch into Benji Marshall's tenure as head coach, which begins from 2025.
Brooks has enjoyed working with the premiership-winning playmaker, an assistant to Sheens.
"His positivity, it's a credit to the coaches," he said.
"They're still upbeat and keeping us positive, even though we've had a tough start. So that's definitely helped us."
The halfback's comments come as he prepares to welcome Doueihi back to the halves after his brief stint at fullback.
Charlie Staines returns to the No.1 jersey in the fourth different starting spine combination the Tigers have deployed through six rounds.
"It's not ideal," Brooks said of the instability.
"But I guess that happens when you're not winning. For us, we've just got to put in a good performance and that eases the pressure.
"'Ads' playing five-eighth, he obviously wants to play there and he's a great runner of the ball. We've also got 'Stainesy' at the back and he'll add a lot."
After spending two weeks playing next to Brandon Wakeham, Brooks admitted Doueihi was his preferred halves partner.
"I think so," he said.
"I guess it's not up to me but I think for me, it doesn't matter who's five-eighth or fullback, my job still stays the same.
"(Adam and I) we work well together, he's a runner of the ball so I've got to get him in positions to thread the line."
