Reports indicate that the Eagles have released Avonte Maddox, although the team is now reuniting with the cornerback on a new one-year deal.
While this move was anticipated, it took some time to materialize. Maddox’s health has been a concern over the past two seasons, impacting his availability, which, combined with his nearly $7 million price tag for 2024, made his retention somewhat uncertain. Nevertheless, he is highly regarded within the locker room, with teammates celebrating his return from injury last season and emphasizing the positive impact of his energy both on and off the field.
The Eagles have been active in the offseason, making numerous moves, and are not waiting until the draft to make changes to their roster. Maddox’s return provides some continuity to the defensive back group, and with the return of C.J. Gardner-Johnson to Philadelphia, the team now has several options for configuring their secondary.
