The Browns needed some experienced linebacker depth and have found it in the form of 28-year-old Baker. A 2018 third-round pick of the Dolphins, 2024 was Baker’s first season outside Miami. He ended up making five appearances for each of the Seahawks and Titans, arriving in Nashville via an October trade. He’s essentially a warm body, but signing in March as opposed to April or May boosts his 53-man roster odds.

Baker was dealt to the Titans last season in a trade with the Seahawks and wound up appearing in five games for them. He appeared in a combined 10 games last season while making eight starts and has started 90 of the 104 games he’s appeared in during his career. Baker totaled 61 tackles, two sacks, and two TFLs last season and can provide valuable snaps for whatever defense he lands on.

Baker surely would have liked to suit up against his former team but the Seahawks are evidently playing things conservatively. Baker joined practice in a limited capacity on Thursday and his Friday status has yet to be released. He has a good shot at suiting up for Week 4 against the Lions.
