Eaden, who still has 12 months of his contract to run, told the B'ham Post & Mail:
"The gaffer called me in and said that if I found another club he would help me out and not stand in my way.
"He also said that if nothing materialised he'd be happy to keep me in the squad. I can't see myself getting in the team next season.
"Of course, you never know what's going to happen with injuries but I don't want to be hanging around for weeks on the off-chance someone gets a problem.
"For 10 years in a row now I've played over 40 games a season.
"Even this season I managed 32, but 23 appearances were up to Christmas before he came. Like any footballer, I just want to be playing games regularly.
"In fairness to the gaffer he's been sound because I've got the best of both worlds with a year still left on my contract.
But we both know that I want to play so I will see what comes up over the summer."
