The Facts:
Baker, disgruntled with his contract status and management's apparent refusal to renegotiate, has left the team's off-season strength and conditioning program in protest, The Post has learned.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Baker is coming off the best season of his career, having caught 41 passes and become more of a focal point in the Jets' offense, has two years remaining on his $6.6 million contract and he's clearly underpaid by NFL starting TE standards. Baker told reporters shortly after the season ended he was interested in a new deal. Since then, he has watched as the Jets signed a new roster full of expensive free agents to contracts in excess of $140 million. That group includes backup TE Bubba Franks, who was given $1.65 million for the 2008 season -- more than Baker's base salary this year.
