Zack Baun: Highest Graded off ball LB Baun wins DPOTW award [Eagles Baun Thread]

I'm saying we are an aging team that should have moved on from Davis and Jordan at the end of 2023. We tied ourselves to those players with back end money. We have lost Roach, Oynemata, Baun, and Ellis as front 7 players while regressing on defense. We will likely extend HB until falls off a cliff too.

No doubt we should have moved on from Jordan, but Davis was still playing like one of the top MLBs in the NFL and he's still playing at a very high level so I can see why it would have been hard to move on from him. Can you imagine the outrage had they let Davis go and said that Baun or Ellis was going to be the starting MLB?

I mean I like adding young talent, but you also have to have some veteran guys around to establish the standard you want to set and Demario is really both establishing the standard in the locker room and doing it on the field.
