Eagles Predicted To Re-Sign Breakout Star, Pro-Bowler

Will the Eagles bring the breakout star back to town in 2025?

The Philadelphia Eagles made one of the best moves of the offseason last year.

Adding Saquon Barkley obviously springs to mind, but he actually wasn't the only game-changing move. The Eagles also signed linebacker Zack Baun and he has had a season that no one -- except clearly the Eagles' front office -- could've predicted.

Baun was more of a role player with the New Orleans Saints over the last four years but developed into a star in his first year with the Eagles. Baun was named to the Pro Bowl and has been one of the best linebackers in all of football. He will be a free agent at the end of the season, though.

While this is the case, Bleacher Report's scouting department predicted the Eagles will end up re-signing him.

"Top 2025 Free Agent Target: Re-sign LB Zach Baun," Bleacher Report said. "Milton Williams is another candidate to earn a second contract in Philadelphia, but Williams could be expensive. Baun should be cheaper given his position as an off-ball linebacker.

"The 28-year-old has revived his career this season, emerging as one of the best second-level defenders in the league. If the Eagles let Baun walk, they will have to find a productive linebacker to replace him."

Baun looks like a star and quickly has developed into a fan-favorite in his first season with the Eagles. Bringing him back should be a priority and it really wouldn't be shocking to see a deal get done.
