Josh Addo-Carr has been told he won’t be re-signed by the Eels beyond 2027 and is free to leave immediately if he finds a new club.
Parramatta will keep the door ajar for Addo-Carr to see out his 2027 contract, but won’t stand in his way if he secures a new contract next season with a rival franchise.
The 31-year-old is due back to pre-season training with the Eels next week, pending how quickly his manager can secure interest from any rival clubs.
The decision by the Eels has been made in the wake of Addo-Carr being cleared to return to the Eels by the NRL integrity unit.
Addo-Carr recently met with head coach Jason Ryles. Their strong bond allowed the discussion to move forward by agreeing to let the talented winger secure his long-term future at a rival club.
The winger escaped punishment after failing a roadside drug test but his NRL career was saved when his B sample came back negative.
The former Test and NSW State of Origin winger has proven a prolific tryscorer and an influential mentor off the field with his powerful community work.
The Eels depth in their outside backs will be stretched if Addo-Carr finds a new club next season, however Parramatta has added Knights winger James Schiller to their roster for next season.

However if no club wants to offer him a multi year deal he'll prob just stay with us for 2027
Can we have just one offseason without drama!!!!
It's ok, I'm sure there's plenty of U10 wingers who can step up.
Ever since Ryles has been here we've been getting worse in who comes and goes maybe he's the reason why we aren't signing the best and getting Reggie's.
Welcome schiller another reggie signed under Jason Ryles mr CTE man.
Funny, sign a depth player who is a reserve grader? Funny how that works since if they were good enough to start every week they wouldn't be depth.
We've replaced good players with duds, since 2022 hasn't changed since. Why hasn't MON been let go??
Wait, i thought this was Ryles fault? So who is it then?
Also, is Schiller replacing JAC? We have Kelly and Simonsson ahead of him. So since it is more likely signing him as a depth option, there is no issues there. If he is signed to start straight away, fair go for your life.
So Leniu is a poor signing? As is Su'A? I think they are better than what we have had in a few seasons.
Having a bad day mate? R U OK
