The market for off-ball LBs isn't as big as you think. People feel like the Eagles don't value them when in reality, it's a league-wide approach. The Eagles know Baun and his fit within our system and how he works with our coaching. To other teams, breaking the bank on him would be like the Eagles signing Huff last year. Combine that with a player at a position most teams don't invest as much in. 

I think you're you're highly underestimating the value of a young All Pro. You don't think some team like the Raiders or the Redskins that are flush with cash won't pay him more just to give the Eagles the middle finger? You keep saying his value isn't what I think it is. I'm pretty sure it's the other way around. He's going to get paid. We'll revisit this after he signs his next deal as we're just going in meaningless circles on this. We're never going to agree right now. Someone is going to be wrong but it won't happen today...

 

There's still dingle berries around here whining about Hurts stats as he leads the team to a Super Bowl. SMFH.

I'm not underestimating his worth. He should be a top paid off-ball LB for us. I'm confident Howie will get that deal done. It's one thing to let a very good, solid LB like Edwards leave when you already felt good about the LB you just drafted the year before (Dean), but Baun in our system is not just very good, he's also a tone-setting playmaker. With questions now surrounding when Dean will return and how the injury may affect him beyond that, there's no way Howie lets Baun slip away.
