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.

I understand/stood you perfectly Richard. You make sense as always.
One minute I am excited that Rush is outspoken (agreeably) then we have this message.....why even make such a decision before the end of this year.....someone has fcuked up here and I believe JAC would have killed for Parra this upcoming season.....just a dumb bet not to support him.....if he has a bad season, then so be it...if he has a blinder then we will be cutting our own throats.....fcuk this is a dumb organisation....we still don't know what happened with Joash Pappilli and I am now wondering who Riley Smith upset......
Interesting comment from the Parramatta Coucil exec who said following Parramatta is like repeatedly hitting yourself on the head with a brick.
Richard, you do realise my reply was to Eli, not you? Get a grip.
No I didn't realise LB,my mistake. Will do better.
All good, i have done it myself before.
What?!!! Why?
Good. He broke the team trust and this sends a signal; it also may mean we have others on the way in.
Yeah, like Bostock?
Fat chance! We will probably miss out on Best too. We can't attract top level talent so why are we shitting on the talent we do have?
This is just a brainless decision by the club.
Thanks BM, good to know I am in good company!..... "broke the team trust" nobody will be more disappointed than the team IMO.
A new era of dumb upon us.
New levels of dumb
This spoon is on Rush.
Love a good woke virtue signal.
Spoon here we come.
