The Philadelphia Eagles have re-signed Zack Baun to a three-year deal, reportedly making him one of the highest-paid linebackers in the NFL.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the All-Pro linebacker's contract is worth $51 million, with $34 million guaranteed at signing and an additional $1.5 million available through incentives and escalators.
This contract comes just days after Saquon Barkley was named the highest-paid running back in NFL history, securing a two-year, $41.2 million extension with the Eagles.
Both Baun and Barkley played pivotal roles in the Eagles' outstanding 2024 season.
Baun's playoff performances included 33 tackles and two interceptions, including one against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX.
Finishing the regular season with 2,005 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns, Barkley's first year in Philadelphia solidified his record-breaking extension.
