Funny how Jordan Mailata didn’t make the Pro Bowl but was named to the All-Pro second team. That was predicted by some folks who thought the hamstring injury and missed time is what kept him off the Pro Bowl roster.
The big takeaway beyond that is Zack Baun being a first teamer. This guy was just sitting there on the Saints’ roster, Howie Roseman plucked him, threw him a one-year deal, and Vic Fangio made him a Pro Bowl and All-Pro player. Seeing his name listed there next to Fred Warner and Roquan Smith really is something. He was just as good as any linebacker in the NFL this season, and he’s going to get paid, if not here, then somewhere else.
That’s the one thing that does kind of suck. Was there an opportunity to lock him up earlier? He’s played at the level of the guys earning $10 million+, and is worth least $6-7 million, which is the range where you’re finding linebackers of his age in 2025. The guy deserves every dollar, and hopefully it’s gonna be with the Eagles, but if he can get “the bag” elsewhere, then you can’t blame him for taking it.
