THE CONTRACT: One year, $3.5 million 

The Eagles have mastered bargain shopping at the linebacker position, with Baun being the latest discount player to pop in Philadelphia. A third-round pick of the Saints back in 2020, the Wisconsin product went back and forth between edge rushing and off-ball linebacking in New Orleans, but he never truly settled into a role. Baun blossomed under Vic Fangio in Philly, though, earning first-team All-Pro honors after absolutely stuffing the stat sheet with 151 tackles (including 11 for loss), five QB hits, five forced fumbles, four passes defensed, 3.5 sacks and an interception. As a high-motor defender with a wide-ranging set of skills, Baun added a new dimension to the Eagles’ defense, which emerged as the league’s best unit this season. Playing on a one-year, $3.5 million deal, this guy was clearly one of the biggest steals from last offseason’s open market.
