Barkley and Gardner-Johnson played well in 2024 and helped the Eagles win a Super Bowl. When free agency begins on Wednesday, March 12, the Eagles probably won’t make big moves this time around. Philadelphia only has about $22 million in cap space,

If the Philadelphia Eagles have dreams and aspirations about repeating as Super Bowl champions, they are going to need to hit on a few reclamation projects, just like they did a season ago with free-agent castoffs like Mekhi Becton and Zack Baun.

Linebacker Zack Baun turned heads all season going from a situational edge rusher with the New Orleans Saints into a first-team All-Pro off-ball linebacker with the Eagles. He's set to hit free agency in a few weeks - something general manager Howie Roseman knows he'll need to get ahead of moving forward.

Baun has expressed a desire to stay with the Eagles, who are no stranger to paying premium talent at top-of-the-market rates. Their contract structures would easily allow them to re-sign Baun, who could command more $15MM per year on a new deal.
