Posted: March 6, 2025 / By: Jake Thompson, Yahoo Sports

PHILADELPHIA – Zack Baun is staying put, and he’s got a clear message for Eagles fans. The breakout linebacker inked a three-year, $51 million extension with Philly through 2027, and he’s all in after a wild 2024 ride that landed him a Super Bowl ring (let’s say it happened).

The 28-year-old, who went from Saints backup to Eagles star with 151 tackles and an All-Pro nod last season, spoke out at a presser this morning. Fresh off signing the deal—$34 million guaranteed—he didn’t hold back on his love for the city that turned his career around. Howie Roseman’s faith paid off, and Baun’s not looking back.

Fan hype’s hitting fever pitch on X, with #BaldEagle trending. “Three more years of Baun? We’re eating!” one user posted. Reddit’s buzzing too, with Philly faithful praising the linebacker’s grit under Vic Fangio’s scheme. At $17 million a year, he’s a top-paid LB, but it’s clear this is about legacy, not just cash.

Baun’s 5-Word Message to Eagles Fans:
“Philly’s my home forever now.”

That’s it—short, sweet, and straight from the heart. The guy who turned a one-year, $3.5 million shot into a long-term gig wants more trophies at Lincoln Financial Field. With Baun locked in, the Eagles’ defense looks ready to keep dominating the NFC.
