The first-team All Pro linebacker signed a three-year deal worth $51 million Wednesday and remained off the free-agent market.

One of the defensive stalwarts on the Eagles' Super Bowl run is staying in Philadelphia. Linebacker Zack Baun is signing a three-year, $51 million contract with the Eagles, XXXX reported.

It also makes it more difficult for the Eagles to keep their other three top pending free agents in defensive linemen Milt Williams and Josh Sweat, and right guard Mekhi Becton. Free agency begins Monday at noon, with deals official beginning Wednesday at 4 p.m.
