Announcement: Philadelphia Eagles Agree Two-Year, $19.4 Million Deal to Re-Sign Fan Favorite

In a major offseason move, the Philadelphia Eagles have secured a two-year, $19.4 million deal to re-sign fan-favorite linebacker Zack Baun. The All-Pro first-team selection and Pro Bowl linebacker was one of the Eagles’ top defensive playmakers last season, making him a priority signing for head coach Nick Sirianni and general manager Howie Roseman.

Baun’s Breakout Year With the Eagles

After signing a $3.5 million deal last offseason, Baun exceeded expectations and emerged as one of the NFL’s elite defenders. His dominant performances earned him:

Pro Bowl honors

First-team All-Pro selection

Finalist for Defensive Player of the Year

Coach Nick Sirianni made it clear that retaining Baun was a top priority for the Eagles this offseason.

> “Zack Baun is a difference-maker on our defense,” Sirianni said. “His leadership, versatility, and playmaking ability were huge for us. We knew we had to bring him back.”

Baun’s Impact on the Eagles’ Defense

Baun was a key force in the Eagles’ front seven, showcasing elite pass-rushing skills, strong coverage ability, and high football IQ. His presence helped Philadelphia maintain one of the league’s top defensive units.

Dominant Pass Rusher: Baun recorded career highs in sacks, QB pressures, and tackles for loss.

Versatility: His ability to play both inside and outside linebacker gave the Eagles flexibility in their defensive schemes.

Leadership: As a veteran presence, Baun helped mentor younger players while being one of the most consistent performers on the field.

Why This Deal Makes Sense for Both Sides

The Eagles recognized Baun’s value and made sure to lock him in for the next two seasons with a well-earned pay raise.

For Baun: He gets financial security and a well-deserved contract after proving himself as an elite linebacker.

For the Eagles: Philadelphia retains a defensive cornerstone without having to search for a replacement in free agency.

Can Baun Help Lead the Eagles Back to the Super Bowl?

With Baun back in the mix, the Eagles bolster their championship aspirations. If he continues to play at an All-Pro level, he could be the leader of one of the NFL’s best defenses.

This signing proves that Philadelphia is committed to keeping its core intact as they push for another Super Bowl run.
