Chris Baker signs with Patriots - Adam Schefter

Cool, should be some decent depth at TE. He has to be a better blocker than Watson is. Hell, a traffic cone is a better blocker than Watson is. :lol:

Well Baker resembles a traffic cone in a lot of ways, and isn't much of a receiver either.

Baker is a slightly below average (but not totally awful) starter and would be a top-notch backup to use in 2-TE sets or spot-starting. You probably got him cheap, so at worst it won't be a bad move.

That's pretty much all we need. He'll have to fill in 2-3 games when Watson is hurt. I just wish we had never let Graham walk. :cussing:

He's a nice little pickup for the Pats, but it's to be expected that they'll try and improve too.....

With the way his contract was restructured (Mainly to quit his bitching last offseason) we couldn't justify keeping him around under his current deal. I was hoping we would work out a more reasonable contract, but it doesn't sound like it.

This sucks

Baker was a very good player for us.....he will be missed

One of the most underappreciated Jets I have ever seen

I liked the guy also, he had soft hands and a good blocker.

He's gonna kill us while he's there watch.

Lets just replace him with an extra OT. Slap a number beginning with "8" on his jersey and tell him that he's a TE now.

THAT will get you some blocking.

I love this idea. I really do. If you are going to sign a tight end to block. I don't see why you don't do this.

Probably because most of those blocking TEs are at least somewhat of a threat to sneak out and snag a pass or two when the defense least expects it. The Patriots have done just that with Russ Hochstein the past couple seasons though.

Baker is a decent TE. It's a good pickup for the Pats.

I'd almost guarantee he scores a TD against the Jets next season. That's just the kind of **** that has to happen as a Jet fan.

LOL

Its a good pick up for the Pats. Baker was highly underrated by this org.
