Baker and the Browns have agreed to terms on a contract, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Scouting Report
Has big hands for a linebacker. Very fast out in space and can play sideline-to-sideline. Shows excellent functional strength for a pro defender at his position, and brings good explosiveness for the pro linebacker corps. He can be more productive as a tackler. Can use more muscular bulk to compete in the NFL. Doesn't have the long arms NFL teams covet in a linebacker.
Long Range Potential: Talented linebacker with some starter tools.
