Chris Baker not worried about extension, wants to stick at left end

CHANTILLY, Va. -- Washington Redskins defensive end Chris Baker said he’s in no rush for a contract extension, knowing his play can take care of a new deal. He’s also not in a rush to change positions, even if it’s for only a handful of plays a game.

And, as the Redskins inch closer to the start of offseason workouts, Baker said he’s ready to become more of a leader, with one veteran (Terrance Knighton) gone and another possibly not back (Jason Hatcher).

It’s a big year for Baker, who is entering the final year of his contract.
