The Philadelphia Eagles are re-signing linebacker Zack Baun to a three-year deal, the team announced Wednesday.

It's a $51-million deal that includes $34 million guaranteed, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Baun earned the first Pro Bowl and first-team All-Pro nods of his career after a breakout 2024 campaign in which he tallied 151 total tackles (11 for loss), 3.5 sacks, an interception, and four pass breakups.

The 28-year-old signed a one-year, $3.5-million deal with Philly last March after spending four seasons with the New Orleans Saints. The Wisconsin product was selected 74th overall in the 2020 draft and primarily played as an edge defender with the Saints before moving to off-ball linebacker with the Eagles.

Baun's breakout continued into the playoffs. He nabbed a pair of interceptions in four postseason games, including one in the club's 40-22 Super Bowl LIX victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.

The 6-foot-3, 225-pounder has recorded 239 total tackles, 5.5 sacks, and 17 tackles for loss in 78 career games.
