Eagles sign Baker to one-year deal

Posted on 11. Mar, 2009 by in Eagles Related

Today, the Eagles signed free agent safety Rashad Baker to a one-year deal. Baker, 27, was last in Oakland but also spent time with New England, Buffalo, and Minnesota. At 5′ 10″ 200 pounds, Baker has never had stellar numbers recording only 78 tackles, 1 forced fumble, and 5 interceptions in his 5 year career.

His addition, along with the addition of Sean Jones, fills the two empty spots vacated by Brian Dawkins and Sean Considine.

I am not very impressed with this signing as this guy has shown nothing so far in his NFL career. I guess the upside is that much like Jones, he only signed a one-year deal so if he shows nothing on the field this year he can easily be dropped.
