NFL free agency will begin on March 12 at 4 p.m. ET. Zack Baun will not be available.
The Eagles agreed to a new three-year deal with the All-Pro linebacker Wednesday:
Breaking: Eagles are re-signing All-Pro LB Zack Baun to a three-year, $51 million contract, including $34 million guaranteed at signing and additional $1.5 million in incentives and escalators, per sources. The contract instantly makes Baun one of the highest-paid LBs in the NFL. pic.twitter.com/n7zkzIgwcD
Baun was one of the best signings of last offseason, as Howie Roseman inked him to a one-year/$3.5 million deal and the Eagles moved him from outside linebacker to middle linebacker. Baun thrived in Vic Fangio's system with 151 tackles, 11 tackles for a loss, five forced fumbles, five quarterback hits and 3 1/2 sacks. He finished fifth in Defensive Player of the Year voting.
Baun capped off his magical season with an interception of Patrick Mahomes in the second quarter of the Eagles' Super Bowl LIX win over the Kansas City Chiefs:
"Imma get one."

While the Eagles have re-signed Baun, they still have a few notable impending free agents from their championship team in edge rusher Josh Sweat, defensive tackle Milton Williams and guard Mekhi Becton.
