Barwin is signed through 2018 and carried a cap hit of $7 million entering the 2015 campaign, per Spotrac.
The 28-year-old is coming off the best season of his career, recording 14.5 sacks, 64 tackles and two forced fumbles en route to being to his first Pro Bowl and second-team All-Pro honors.
The versatile linebacker will be central to the Eagles' revamped defense that features one of the best trios in the league, alongside Mychal Kendricks and newly-acquired Kiko Alonso.
