Zack Baun Odds for 2025

ANALYSIS
Baun could have explored his options in free agency when the new league year begins next week, but it was likely an easy decision for both the 28-year-old and the Eagles to come to terms on a new deal in the wake of a wildly successful first season in Philadelphia. After playing primarily on special teams and serving as a backup outside linebacker over his first four NFL seasons in New Orleans, Baun inked a one-year, $3.5 million deal with the Eagles last March and emerged as a Week 1 starter at inside linebacker. The Wisconsin product went on to record 3.5 sacks among his 151 total tackles (tied for sixth-most in the NFL) and tacked on five forced fumbles over 16 games during the regular season, then added 33 tackles, two interceptions and one forced fumble over the Eagles' four postseason contests. With a lavish new contract in tow, Baun should profile as one of the top IDP options at linebacker in 2025.
