Eagles Add Some Depth at Safety

The Eagles have just signed Rashad Baker a free agent safety most recently with the Oakland Raiders to add some depth to their defensive backfield. After signing Sean Jones as a potential replacement for starter, Brian Dawkins this move is seen as adding some depth and fill the void after losing another safety, Sean Considine to Jacksonville.

Baker, a six year veteran who was originally signed by Buffalo as an undrafted free agent in 2004 also played in New England and Minnesota before joining the Raiders in 2007. Last season he recorded 3 interceptions including one against Tampa Bay in the final game of the season. That Tampa loss is what helped vault the Eagles into the playoffs, along with the victory over Dallas at home.

He gets a chance to play closer to home as he is from Camden, NJ. He reportedly signed a one year deal and the terms were not released
