The Philadelphia Eagles are releasing starting nickel cornerback Avonte Maddox, according to a report from NFL insider Adam Schefter.
However, Schefter added that “the two sides will keep talking and are open to a reunion.” (Shades of cutting and then quickly re-signing Fletcher Cox back in 2022?)
Maddox was due a $6.85 million base salary for 2024. By cutting him, the Eagles instantly cleared just under $2 million in cap space with a little over $7.7 million left in dead money.
It comes as no surprise that the Eagles are looking to either adjust Maddox’s contract or move on from him entirely.
