First-team All-Pro linebacker Zack Baun and the Eagles have agreed to a three-year contract to keep the him in Philadelphia.
Baun, 28, signed with the Eagles on a one-year deal ahead of the 2024 season after four seasons with the New Orleans Saints . The Saints selected him third round of the 2020 NFL draft.
Philadelphia moved him to off-ball linebacker and he produced with a career year under coordinator Vic Fangio. The Eagles ended the regular season with the No. 2 scoring defense and the No. 1 pass defense in the NFL.
The Eagles' title-winning defense entered the offseason with multiple key free agents including Baun, defensive tackle Milton Williams and edge rusher Josh Sweat . Philadelphia decided to secure Baun for the next few seasons of that group, as the other two will likely command a big payday.
