The Philadelphia Eagles secured a major asset for their defense by re-signing linebacker Zack Baun to a three-year, $51 million contract, solidifying him as one of the highest-paid off-ball linebackers in the NFL with $36 million guaranteed. After a standout season where he recorded 151 tackles and excelled during the playoffs, Baun expressed his affection for Philadelphia, stating he appreciates the team's support in his career.

His presence was instrumental not just for his performance but also in elevating his teammate Nakobe Dean, who also had a productive season. The Eagles' commitment to Baun indicates their strategy to build a strong defensive core moving forward.
