Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Zack Baun was rewarded on Wednesday for an outstanding season, and at least one of his teammates saw it coming.
The Eagles on Wednesday re-signed Baun to a three-year, $51M contract. Baun is now one of the highest-paid linebackers in football.
Brandon Graham had a feeling Baun was going to get his money from the Eagles. Graham, who has been with Philadelphia for his entire 15-year career, told Baun as much while the two were celebrating together after Super Bowl LIX last month.
Following the Eagles’ 40-22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs, Graham and Baun had a great exchange. Graham told Baun to “go get paid” but said he was confident his teammate would get a new deal from Philly.
“Aye, go get paid, boy. I know it’s gonna be here, though,” Graham told Baun. “They ain’t going nowhere. They’d get on Howie a– if they don’t.”
