Impact Baker has been a tackle machine for three years running, averaging 8.2 per contest since the start of the 2018 campaign. It's the biggest reason he inked an extension before last season to make him among the highest-paid safeties in the NFL (currently, he's third behind Jamal Adams and Justin Simmons in terms of total guaranteed money). If he keeps up the aforementioned pace of stops over the new 17-game schedule this season, Baker will be poised for an LB-worthy nearly 140 tackles, which would be the second-highest mark of his five-year career.
