The Seattle Seahawks will sign former Miami Dolphins linebacker Jerome Baker to a one-year, $7 million contract, Baker's agents, Drew and Jason Rosenhaus, told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Saturday.
The Dolphins released Baker on March 5 and moved quickly to replace him in free agency by signing former Seahawks linebacker Jordyn Brooks earlier this week.
Baker, 27, who underwent surgery on his wrist in January and was released with a failed physical designation, was the team's third-round pick in 2018 and has started 82 games in his six NFL seasons. The starting inside linebacker was entering the final year of a three-year, $37.5 million contract he signed in 2021.
