He's a key part. $7.5M per year seems reasonable.
Of course we all know how free agency works, decent players get overpaid. Hopefully Baker will want to stay in DC and Schaeffer will be able to get him to agree to $7.5M.

Yeah....You know when going through and analyzing, D-Line players, Baker value, other FA options, quality of play.... it is important to remember: who played next to Baker? No one...meaning he garnered a lot of attention up front from opposing Olines and STILL produced. He did have RK usually too his left, but he had no NT/DT or quality piece at the other DE spot. Think that says a lot.
