I'm certain Bohs and maybe some others would have had a look at Kane but Drogheda recently extended his contract so there could be a hefty transfer fee or a release clause there which may put LOI clubs off, I remember at the end of the 2021 season Shels after a few attempts eventually agreed with Drogheda to pay undisclosed sum to sign Kane who was under contract

I think listening to LOI Central the interesting piece for me at this stage is budgets. I feel i would be able to make some sort of informed guess as to where the size of the budgets in the PD are and rank them, in the FD beyond Cork no idea
