March 5 (UPI) -- The Philadelphia Eagles agreed to a three-year contract extension with linebacker Zack Baun, the team announced Wednesday.
Sources told NFL Network, ESPN and The Athletic that the contract is worth $51 million and includes $34 million guaranteed.
Baun, 28, totaled a career-high 151 combined tackles, 11 tackles for a loss, five forced fumbles, four passes defensed, an interception and a fumble recovery over 16 starts last season en route to first-team All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors.
The five-year veteran signed a one-year, $3.5 million deal with the Eagles last off-season. Baun, a third-round pick by the New Orleans Saints in the 2020 NFL Draft, totaled 239 combined tackles, six passes defensed, 5.5 sacks, five forced fumbles, two interceptions and a fumble recovery over his first 78 appearances in the league.
Baun led the Eagles with 33 combined tackles this postseason en route to his first Super Bowl title.
