Eagles Score Big with Baun’s Contract Extension
The Eagles just locked down one of their biggest defensive stars, and ESPN’s Seth Walder is giving them major props for it. Walder graded the contract an ‘A,’ calling it a smart move that keeps one of Philly’s top defenders on a fair long-term deal.
Baun, who originally signed a one-year, $1.6 million deal, made a huge impact after switching to off-ball linebacker. He nearly won Defensive Player of the Year and put up some insane stats, including the best defensive efficiency rating for a linebacker in 2024.
With over 150 tackles and five forced fumbles last season, Baun was a major force behind the Eagles’ dominant defense. Now, after proving his worth, he’s getting the payday he deserves. Philly’s betting on him to keep delivering, and based on last season, that seems like a pretty safe bet.
