Baker’s rookie contract was set to expire at the end of the year.
On Friday, Baker was asked about a potential deal.
Baker said, “I want to play here for the rest of my career. I love it here. I love the fans, the organization.”
The Dolphins drafted Baker, 24, out of Ohio State.
Last season, Baker had 112 tackles and 7 sacks.
