Baker is a 30 year old DT who played for the Redskins and most recently the Bucs. He's started 56 games with 201 tackles and 12.0 sacks.
He's 6'2" and 320 lbs. Probable Peko replacement.
at the risk of dragging this thread back on topic....
I like this signing and I don't think its quite the scraping the bottom of the barrel that some seem to think.
He's not a Bobby Hart type of acquisition - he has performed at a high level in the league, he is being re-united with two coaches who personally coached him and so know exactly what they are getting - as opposed to conjecture based on reported incidents.
I'm hoping for more like a Thomas Howard type of impact - player of genuine starter quality who comes in and gives us an upgrade for a year (maybe more) whilst we wait for young 'uns/draftees to emerge.
