The Philadelphia Eagles are being being urged to approach to re-signing NFL All-Pro LB Zack Baun with a sense of urgency. The post Eagles Need ‘Urgency’ in Bringing Back NFL All-Pro LB appeared first on Heavy Sports.

Sunday's game included stellar performances by Baun, Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley and others, while also making a star out of Baun and his wife Ali's young son, who began going viral in a post shared by a well known sideline reporter.

The Eagles forced four turnovers, including three “Peanut Punch” fumbles in their 55-23 win in the NFC title game.

Here's a look at Zach Baun's exceptional play, Saquon Barkley's impressive score, and how the signature defensive move came to be.

The Eagles reached Super Bowl LIX, and even with the excitement of reaching the big game, all eyes are on the new league year and the start of NFL free agency. ESPN just revealed its top 50 players list for 2025, and Philadelphia has three of their 18 pending free agents on the list.

The Eagles added a pair of NFC South linebackers in Devin White and Zack Baun as free agents, but each came to Philadelphia with plenty to prove. White had a rough final two seasons in Tampa Bay after a hot start to his career, while Baun struggled to hold down a starting role in four seasons with the Saints.

In the Eagles’ NFC Wild Card win over the Green Bay Packers on January 12, Baun logged eight tackles, one interception, and one pass deflection. Baun had six tackles, one tackle for loss, and one pass defended in the divisional-round win over the Rams.

After an incredible run through the 2024 NFL season, securing the second seed in the NFC before punching their ticket to the Super Bowl following three straight fantastic playoff wins, it makes sense that some of the Philadelphia Eagles players would draw serious attention in free agency when the season comes to an end.

After an offseason overhaul and the arrival of Vic Fangio, the Philadelphia Eagles defense has transformed into the NFL’s most dominant and opportunistic unit, paving the way for a return to the Super Bowl.

Barkley joins four quarterbacks — Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Jared Goff, and Lamar Jackson — as finalists for the AP MVP award. Barkley, Burrow, and Jackson join wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase and running back Derrick Henry as OPOY finalists.
