Patriots Sign WR Kawaan Baker To Futures Contract

Futures deals are essentially camp invites that will allow players to compete for roster spots during offseason workouts and training camp.

Baker, 25, was a seventh-round pick by the Saints back in 2021 out of South Alabama. He signed a four-year rookie deal with the team but was waived coming out of the preseason and re-signed to the practice squad. 

Baker later re-signed on a futures deal for the 2022 season, but the Saints let him go in October after he finished serving a suspension. He had stints with the Packers and Eagles before returning to New Orleans and signing a futures deal for 2023. 

The Saints waived Baker again coming out of the preseason. 

In 2021, Baker appeared in two games for the Saints and recorded no statistics.
