Late in the 2012 season, one NFL personnel man described free agent LT Sam Baker as a "below-average" starter.
The personnel man called Baker a stopgap rather than long-term solution. Baker, 28 in May, ranks relatively low on a strong offensive tackle market, coming in 10th in Rotoworld's 2013 free-agent OT ratings. The Falcons could potentially let Baker test the market and re-sign him affordably if interest isn't great.
