The Philadelphia Eagles made an out-of-character move earlier this month when they re-signed off-the-ball linebacker, Zack Baun, to a 3 year, $51 million deal. Admittedly, Baun had an All-Pro season and was even a finalist for Defensive Player of the Year this past season.

The situations vary as some players are on the downside of their careers, or coming off an injury-filled season, or haven't had a chance to prove themselves just yet. So a one-year contract in free agency was all they were going to get.

The 24-year-old edge rusher, formerly with the Giants, has other links to the Philadelphia area. He has struggled to remain healthy over the last three seasons, though.
