Zack Baun and Saquon Barkley held their introductory press conferences with the Eagles one year ago. For Barkley, it marked a rarity in Eagles land: a high-priced running back on a team that tended to not spend too many resources at that position.

The Eagles’ linebacker didn’t want to go anywhere else in free agency, and was able to work with the organization to get a new deal done as quickly as possible.

Zack Baun felt at home with Philadelphia, eschewing the free-agent market for a three-year deal to stay with the Eagles after an All-Pro season.
