Latest Eagles cut proves even more Patriots made a big mistake with draft pick After cutting wide receiver Javon Baker before the 2025 season, the UCF alum signed with the Eagles' practice squad, just to get cut again.

OCTOBER 16 • MUSKETFIRE.COM

Cut from Philadelphia's PS The Eagles cut Baker from the practice squad Tuesday.

Impact The room makes room on the Eagles' practice squad for running back Audric Estime. Baker joined Philadelphia on the practice squad in early September after being cut from New England's 53-man roster at the end of August. The 2024 fourth-rounder is just 23 years old, so he should receive interest from teams looking for depth at wide receiver.

Joins Philly's practice squad Baker signed with Philadelphia's practice squad Friday.

Impact Baker failed to make New England's 53-man roster in 2025 after a disappointing rookie season in which the 2024 fourth-round pick had just one catch. It would probably take an injury to one of the five healthy wide receivers on Philadelphia's 53-man roster for Baker to get a chance with the Eagles.

Cut by New England The Patriots are waiving Baker on Wednesday, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.

Impact Baker made New England's initial 53-man roster Tuesday, but he'll now be cut loose as the team frees up space for its waiver claims. The 2024 fourth-round pick seems a likely candidate to re-sign to the practice squad if he goes unclaimed on waivers. He played just 83 snaps on offense as a rookie and finished with one catch for 12 yards (on four targets) across 11 regular-season appearances.

Finishes without a catch Baker finished without a catch on two targets in Thursday's 42-10 preseason loss to the Giants.

Impact He was quiet during the preseason and didn't seem to make much noise at training camp, which puts Baker on the roster bubble one year after being a fourth-round pick. Injuries to other wide receivers help his case, but even that might not be enough to keep Baker around on the Week 1 roster.

Limited role as a rookie Baker finished the 2024 regular season with one catch (on four targets) for 12 yards in 11 games.

Impact Though Baker -- who the Patriots took in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft -- made some highlight-reel plays during training camp, the UCF product wasn't able to make much of an impact as a rookie, finishing the season with just 83 snaps on offense. Looking ahead, Baker will have an opportunity to get a fresh start under a new coaching staff, but the 6-foot-1, 202-pounder has much to prove before he enters the fantasy lineup conversation in 2025.

JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Healthy for Sunday Baker (concussion) has been removed from the injured list ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills.

Impact Baker was a full participant in Thursday and Friday's practice, and he's now no longer on the injured list for the Patriots' Week 16 away game. The rookie wide receiver and kick returner will likely keep operating from the special teams unit for New England as he did before he suffered his concussion.
