A little more than a week after the Dolphins released Jerome Baker, the longtime starting inside linebacker has found a new home.
Baker is signing a one-year, $7 million deal with the Seattle Seahawks, ESPN reported Saturday.
The Dolphins released Baker on March 5, parting ways with the 2018 draft pick who spent the first six years of his career in Miami. The Dolphins saved close to $10 million in cap space by releasing Baker.
According to a source, Baker agreed to take a pay cut from his $10.8 million base salary in 2024 but the sides could not agree on an exact number. A return to Miami was not ruled out but the Dolphins quickly moved to find his replacement in free agency, signing former Seahawks starting inside linebacker Jordyn Brooks to a three-year, $26.25 million deal.
Miami also signed former Cleveland Browns inside linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. to a one-year deal.
