Dolphins Sign CB Darrell Baker Jr

Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network reports the Miami Dolphins have signed free agent CB Darrell Baker Jr to a 1-year contract.

Terms of the deal have not been disclosed at this time.

Baker is 27 years old and went undrafted in 2022. He was signed by Arizona that year. He was cut at the end of training camp and then signed on with the Colts practice squad and was in Indy until 2023.

The past two seasons, he has been with the Tennessee Titans.

In his career, he has played 51 games, started 25, and has no career interceptions.

In 2024, with the Titans, he played in 17 games and started 9.

In 2025, he played all 17 games again and started 10 games.

His overall PFF grade was 54.8, which ranked him 88th out of 114 cornerbacks.

Earlier in the day, Miami signed free agent safety Lonnie Johnson Jr.

Miami’s secondary is void of talent right now.

With Minkah Fitzpatrick being traded to the Jets, Kader Kohu, Jack Jones, and Rasul Douglas are all free agents. Miami needs to replenish its secondary.

Ashtyn Davis and Ifeatu Melifonwu are both free agents as well and not expected back in Miami.

The Dolphins do have Storm Duck, Jason Marshall Jr, and Dante Trader all under contract, but they are all unproven players at this time and not guys you would want starting on a team.

Miami also re-signed Ethan Bonner a week or so back.

Expect the Dolphins to invest heavily in the secondary come late April’s draft, and to continue to look for veterans they can sign on cheap 1-year deals as well the rest of free agency in hte lead up to training camp.
