Eagles Retain All-pro Linebacker Zack Baun Before He Tests Free Agency

All-Pro linebacker Zack Baun is staying with the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Super Bowl champions announced Wednesday they've agreed on a three-year deal with Baun through the 2027 season. A person familiar with the details told The Associated Press that Baun's contract is worth 51 million, including 34 million guaranteed. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the terms weren't released.

Baun, who mostly played on special teams for the New Orleans Saints, was a key part of defensive coordinator Vic Fangio's unit last season in his first year in Philadelphia.

He had 151 tackles, 3 1/2 sacks and one interception in the regular season and also had a pick against Patrick Mahomes in the Eagles' 40-22 victory in the Super Bowl last month.

Baun finished fifth in voting for the AP Defensive Player of the Year award, earning two first-place votes.
