Jerome Baker Signs One-Year Deal with Seattle Seahawks

The linebacker's move fills a critical defensive gap for Seattle, marking a significant offseason acquisition.

Jerome Baker, formerly with the Miami Dolphins, has signed a one-year contract with the Seattle Seahawks, potentially filling the team's last starting spot on defense.
The contract, worth up to $7 million, comes after Baker was released by Miami earlier this month due to a failed physical designation after injuries.
Baker's signing is part of Seattle's broader strategy to rebuild its defense, following the departures of key players like Bobby Wagner and Jordyn Brooks.
The Seahawks have also signed other free agents, including linebacker Tyrel Dodson and safety Rayshawn Jenkins, to bolster their defensive lineup.
Baker's addition is likely to see him step into a central role, potentially taking over Wagner's previous position as the middle linebacker.
