Eagles Extra Q&A: Could Avonte Maddox be on trade block? Biggest draft need on defense? Updated Feb 25, 2021; Posted Feb 25, 2021 Facebook Share Sign up for Eagles Extra: Here’s a sample from the latest back-and-forth session: With the news coming out that Avonte Maddox is getting a pay raise, can you see him being traded or cut? Kaye: This question is in reference to the fourth-year playing time escalator in Maddox’s rookie contract. Maddox is now set to make $2.34 million in the final year of his contract. That’s a huge salary for a player who has struggled with injuries and inconsistency on the field over the past two seasons. I’m not sure he would have much of a trade market with that said.
