Baun signed a one-year, $3.5 million deal last off-season, and proceeded to have as big an impact as any linebacker has had as an Eagle in 2024; he had 93 solo tackles, 58 assists, 3.5 sacks, one fumble recovery, and one interception in 16 games. However, he turned it on in the playoffs, netting 20 solo tackles, 13 assists, two fumble recoveries, and two interceptions as he helped the Eagles win their second Super Bowl Championship.
On Tuesday, the Eagles signed Saquon Barkley to a contract extension after his historic 2024 season.
