The Tennessee Titans have addressed the linebacker position this offseason with the signing of Kenneth Murray, but they still need to add one more starting-caliber linebacker.
Former Miami Dolphins linebacker Jerome Baker is a possibility after he met with the Titans this week in a free-agent visit, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Schefter’s tweet was posted Friday, but he originally reported the Titans would meet with Baker on Thursday. The former third-round pick is also garnering interest from the Seattle Seahawks.
Baker is exactly what the doctor ordered in the Titans’ current situation. After all, he’s more well-rounded and better in coverage than Murray, making him a perfect complement.
Our Bryce Lazenby gave the Titans a “C-“ for the Murray deal because of his limitations, but that signing will look a lot better if Tennessee can land Baker in tandem.
We can’t say for certain, but Baker’s visits are probably centered around medicals for the 27-year-old, who had wrist surgery earlier this year, which forced him to miss the playoff game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
