Bucs land DT Chris 'Swaggy' Baker from Redskins

TAMPA — DeSean Jackson wasn't the only free agent the Bucs nabbed Thursday from the Redskins.

Tampa Bay also signed Chris Baker, a 320-pound defensive tackle who's affectionately known as "Swaggy" and has 9½ sacks and five forced fumbles in the past two seasons.

"I'll definitely miss all my teammates and fans, but understand the Redskins didn't want me back as crazy as that sounds," he wrote on Twitter.

Baker played defensive end in a 3-4 defense last season, but he will be a tackle for the Bucs alongside Gerald McCoy.
