Baker signed an exclusive-rights tender with the Chiefs on Friday, Field Yates of ESPN reports. Baker recorded 16 tackles and one pass defended over eight games as a rotational cornerback during the 2021 season. The 2019 first-round pick for the Giants has struggled with injuries, playing just 10 games since joining the team in November of 2020. Baker should continue to serve a minor role in the Chiefs' secondary while also contributing via special teams.
