Jerome Baker News
Free-agent linebacker Jerome Baker agreed to a one-year, $7 million contract with Seattle on Saturday. The 27-year-old finished last season by totaling 78 tackles, two picks, and 1.5 sacks in 13 games with Miami. However, after injuring his knee in December, he underwent wrist surgery in January and was released by the Dolphins in March due to a failed physical designation. Baker should have a clear path for snaps throughout the 2024-25 campaign. While he has had some solid years since entering the league in 2018, he must prove he can remain healthy moving ahead. That said, Baker still has a place on IDP rosters.
Former Miami Dolphins linebacker Jerome Baker is scheduled to visit with the Tennessee Titans on Thursday. Baker had 78 tackles (51 solo), 1.5 sacks, two interceptions and three passes defended in 13 games (12 starts) for Miami in 2023. Baker was released by the Dolphins on March 5 due to a failed-physical designation because of a wrist injury, but the 27-year-old's release was mostly about creating salary cap space. Baker was a former third-round pick by the Dolphins in 2018 out of Ohio State. In his six years in the NFL, he's recorded 22.5 sacks and has gone over 100 total tackles three times in 94 total games played (82 starts) with Miami. Baker should land on his feet somewhere else soon.
The Miami Dolphins are releasing linebacker Jerome Baker after the two sides could not agree on a contract restructure, according to Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. Baker, a 2018 third-round pick, compiled 587 tackles, 22.5 sacks, six forced fumbles, and five interceptions in his first six NFL seasons. In 2023, the 27-year-old missed four games due to a knee injury. The move will save the Dolphins $9.82 million on the cap, and they'll take on just $4.73 million in dead money. The former Ohio State Buckeye is likely viewed as a mid-level off-ball linebacker starter, so he will draw interest from other organizations when free agency begins.
