Patriots wanted promising WR to return on practice squad. He had different plans

FOXBOROUGH – The Patriots were hoping to bring back Javon Baker on their practice squad, but he went in a different direction.

Instead, Baker has signed a deal to join the Philadelphia Eagles practice squad, a source told MassLive’s Mark Daniels.

The 2024 fourth-round pick initially made the Patriots’ 53-man roster on Tuesday, but was cut 24 hours later — along with Kendrick Bourne — after the Patriots claimed quarterback Tommy DeVito and defensive back Charles Woods.

After a memorable draft day, Baker’s role never materialized last season in New England.
