The Philadelphia Eagles have bid farewell to cornerback Avonte Maddox, who has signed a one-year deal with the Detroit Lions, returning to his hometown. Maddox, who started strong in the 2024 season, was sidelined after four games due to the emergence of rookie Cooper DeJean. He finished the season with a total of 20 tackles, including nine solo, and five passes defended, participating in all 17 regular-season games. This marks a significant change for Maddox after being released last offseason and re-signing with the Eagles on a short-term contract.
