Baun, who mostly played on special teams for the New Orleans Saints, was a key part of defensive coordinator Vic Fangio’s unit last season in his first year in Philadelphia.
He had 151 tackles, 3 1/2 sacks and one interception in the regular season and also had a pick against Patrick Mahomes in the Eagles’ 40-22 victory in the Super Bowl last month.
Baun finished fifth in voting for the AP Defensive Player of the Year award, earning two first-place votes.
He would've been a free agent next week but passed up an opportunity to test the open market to remain in Philadelphia.
