"Seahawks Ink Jerome Baker to One-Year Deal in Free Agency"

The Seattle Seahawks are set to sign former Miami Dolphins linebacker Jerome Baker to a one-year, $7 million contract, filling a starting spot at inside linebacker after the departures of Bobby Wagner and Jordyn Brooks. Baker, who was released by Miami, won't count against the Seahawks' compensatory picks formula. The 27-year-old linebacker, who underwent wrist surgery in January, has started 82 games in his six NFL seasons and posted three seasons of at least 100 tackles. Meanwhile, Brooks secured a three-year contract worth $30 million with the Dolphins after playing 16 games for Seattle last season.

Miami Dolphins Clear Cap Space by Releasing LB Jerome Baker

The Miami Dolphins have released linebacker Jerome Baker, along with cornerback Keion Crossen, as part of their efforts to regain financial flexibility this offseason.

The Dolphins also made other cost-saving moves, including the release of veteran Emmanuel Ogbah and the designation of cornerback Xavien Howard as a post-June 1 release. While discussions about a contract restructure with Baker did not lead to an agreement, the door remains open for his potential return to the team after exploring free agency.

Miami Dolphins Cut Ties with Linebacker Jerome Baker

The Miami Dolphins have released linebacker Jerome Baker after failing to reach a restructured contract agreement, making him a free agent after six seasons with the team. The move frees up $9.8 million in salary cap space, with the possibility of a reunion if Baker chooses, but would incur a $5 million dead money salary cap hit. The Dolphins still need to clear about $20 million in salary cap space before the league year begins and now have limited options at inside linebacker.
