Redskins re-signed NT Chris Baker to a one-year, $1.32 million contract.

Baker, 25, appeared in 14 games last season serving as backup to starting nose tackle Barry Cofield. He recorded 15 tackles and a pass deflection. The 6-foot-2, 333-pound defensive lineman also saw time as a backup defensive end and on special teams.

Redskins extended restricted free agent NT Chris Baker the original-pick tender.

It's a little surprising Baker was tendered at all. The Redskins are now scheduled to pay him $1.323 million after 25-year-old Baker played under 220 defensive snaps last season. They must not be in love with Chris Neild.

Redskins placed NT Chris Baker (quad) on injured reserve, ending his season.

Baker just got the call from the practice squad last week, but couldn't even play against the Patriots. The undersized nose tackle is running out p-squad eligibility.

Redskins signed NT Chris Baker from their practice squad.

This Chris Baker spent time with the Broncos and Dolphins after going undrafted out of Hampton as opposed to the former Jets, Seahawks, and Patriots tight end of the same name. Baker will back up Barry Cofield and Chris Neild in Washington.

Redskins signed TE Chris Baker, formerly of the Seahawks.

Baker had been a blocking specialist the past two seasons with New England and Seattle. His receiving skills are superior to those of Logan Paulsen, but he's been out of the league all season. We're not expecting a fantasy impact from either of the Redskins tight ends. Hold off even in deeper leagues.

Dolphins waived/failed physical NT Chris Baker.

It's not hard to imagine that the (usually) 330-pound Baker showed up to camp out of shape. Baker appeared for just seven snaps on defense last season.
