After signing a lucrative three-year extension worth $51 million with the Philadelphia Eagles, linebacker Zack Baun expressed his deep appreciation for the franchise that believed in him and helped him realize his potential as an All-Pro player. Baun's impressive first season saw him transition to inside linebacker under defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, leading to a remarkable 151 tackles along with standout postseason performances including two interceptions in Super Bowl LIX.

As Baun looks ahead to his second year with the Eagles, he is determined to step into a leadership role following the departure of veterans like Brandon Graham and Darius Slay. He aims to continue developing not only as a player but as a vocal presence on the defense, crucial for maintaining the culture and effectiveness that has defined the Eagles’ recent success.
