The Philadelphia Eagles have made a significant move to enhance their roster, securing linebacker Zack Baun in a $3.7 million blockbuster deal during free agency. As the Eagles boast a 2-1 record heading into Week 3 of the NFL season, Baun’s acquisition is already proving to be a key factor in their success.
Baun’s impact was on full display in the Eagles’ recent win against the New Orleans Saints, where he led the team with an impressive 13 tackles, including nine solo stops. This performance adds to his stellar start to the season, bringing his total to 37 tackles and two sacks over just three games, including earlier matchups against the Green Bay Packers and Atlanta Falcons.
Currently leading the NFL in tackles, Baun has quickly established himself as a force on Philadelphia’s defense. His transition from the Saints, where he played for four seasons and recorded a career-high 30 tackles in both 2021 and 2023, has been seamless. Baun’s defensive contributions, including crucial stops, have solidified his reputation as a dependable and dynamic linebacker.
In a recent analysis, Bleacher Report’s David Kenyon praised Baun’s value to the Eagles this season, highlighting him as one of the key factors in their defensive strength.
Baun’s presence has undoubtedly made the Eagles’ defense a more formidable unit, and his performance thus far is a testament to the team’s savvy move in free agency.
