Chris Baker expected to sign with Bengals

[*TheLeonardLeap*]

$3m for a 31-year-old who was cut by his last team after having 0.5 sacks in 15 games last season.... oh, and blew a game for his team, laughed about it, making the entire locker room turn on him. His coaches also didn't like him either.

Quote:Baker jumped offside on fourth-and-short at the end of the game, turning a tough conversion into a very easy one for the Panthers and essentially gifting them a touchdown—the touchdown that would lose the Bucs the game. Gerald McCoy said after the game that he’d warned Baker not to jump offside.[b]

According to the Tampa Bay Times, several players then “took issue with” Baker after the game, as he [b]wasn’t particularly remorseful and was even smiling.

Quote:That’s not all, apparently this was just the tip of the iceberg and some players and coaches have been annoyed with Baker since the offseason, according to Rick Stroud.

What's more, some players and coaches feel as if his attitude has been poor from the beginning in terms of effort, especially given what the Bucs are paying him. Unfortunately, the level of accountability demonstrated in the locker room Sunday didn't happen earlier in the season or training camp.

Hurray Bengals offseason.
