According to TVLine, Eric has chosen to leave the show so he can pursue other career opportunities. He told TVLine, "I am extremely grateful to everyone at Grey’s, ABC and Shondaland for the experience and memories I have had over the course of this run."

Shonda Rhimes also commented that Eric Dane "did not come to this decision lightly, but after much consideration and conversations, he and I have decided that this is the right time for his storyline to end."

Does that mean Mark is going to die? He ended Season 8 on the brink of death, so that seems like the obvious way out for Eric. However, TVLine reports that according to a Grey's insider, Eric Dane will actually be in a "couple" of Season 9 episodes "to ensure he gets a proper farewell."
