Zack Baun Shines as NFC Defensive Player of the Week, Eagles Consider Extension

Zack Baun, initially signed by the Philadelphia Eagles as a situational pass rusher, has excelled as an inside linebacker under defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, earning NFC Defensive Player of the Week honors. With his standout performance, including high PFF grades and significant tackles, the Eagles are urged to sign Baun to a contract extension before he becomes a free agent. Despite the team's historical reluctance to invest heavily in linebackers, Baun's impact on the defense makes a long-term deal a strategic move.
