I didn't think the club had said that we had offered new contracts to the 5 players.

The statement below says that we are in talks with the players.

It doesn't seem to make any sense in drawing up contracts for players that have other offers in the pipeline or aren't looking to stay because of money. Those discussions can happen without a contract being offered.
