Former Miami Dolphins linebacker Jerome Baker spent six seasons in South Beach, but his tenure with the Seattle Seahawks was exceedingly brief.
Baker, 27, was traded to the Tennessee Titans on Wednesday as part of a deal that sent linebacker Ernest Jones IV to Seattle, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
The Dolphins released Baker in March, clearing $9.8 million in cap space with the move. They filled his spot on the roster by signing former Seattle first-round pick Jordyn Brooks to a three-year, $26.25 million deal — effectively making it a swap of the two linebackers with Baker joining the Seahawks.
But Baker dealt with lingering hamstring issues and appeared in only five games with the Seahawks before he was dealt to Tennessee.
Through six games with Miami this season, Brooks has received a career-best 65.6 grade from PFF. Baker received a 62.7 grade in his five games with Seattle.
The Titans reportedly received a fourth-round pick in the deal.
