Eagles part ways with CB Maddox

The Philadelphia Eagles are releasing cornerback Avonte Maddox after six seasons, the team announced Thursday.

The two sides are expected to keep talking and are open to a possible reunion, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Maddox was set to account for a $9.6-million cap hit in 2024, according to Over the Cap. Philadelphia will save close to $2 million by cutting the 27-year-old prior to June 1.

The former fourth-round pick had been an asset for the Eagles' secondary throughout most of his tenure. However, he was limited to just 13 games over the past two seasons due to injuries.

Maddox recorded 250 tackles, 31 passes defended, 13 tackles for loss, and four interceptions during his time as an Eagle.

The departure of Maddox marks the latest change in the back half of the Eagles' secondary. The team released safety Kevin Byard, who was acquired in a trade with the Tennessee Titans in 2023, earlier this month.
