Zack Baun: Top Graded LB / DPOY cand. [Why Isn’t Baun Still a Saint Thread] ………. [Eagles re-sign Baun to 3-year, $51 million contract on March 5]

I wonder if there punting the can causes this. Could it be we’re locked into the aging vets due to dead money hits, and therefore cannot promote the younger guys?

Gay makes more than Baun does with the Eagles. It wasn't about money. It was about the opportunity to play.
