Give him a chance but do it quickly before he wants a lot amount of money.

As it turns out, the kid was framed ......... that's foul. He was a 1st round pick for the Giants. Almost like getting an additional 1st rounder for nothing but a rookie contract,

Armed robbery charges against DeAndre Baker dropped

Former Giants cornerback DeAndre Baker is no longer facing armed robbery charges.

The Broward County (Florida) State’s Attorney’s office announced on Monday that four armed robbery charges against Baker have been dropped. The news was the second development of the day in the case.

The attorney for Baker’s accusers was arrested on Monday after allegedly making an attempt to extort Baker. Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports that William Dean initially demanded $1.5 million and worked his way down to requesting $800,000 in exchange for his clients changing their statements about witnessing Baker rob people in May.

Dean’s three clients reportedly recanted their statements last week. The fourth person accusing Baker of robbery is not represented by Dean and did not show up for an October hearing.

I would to go into next offseason with 2 young corner backs with 1st round potential!

He was terrible on the field before the legal stuff hit and he's known to have attitude issues and difficulty learning schemes. I wouldn't touch him.

Baker was one of the best defensive backs in college football in his senior season. He allowed only 175 yards and a 40.2 NFL passer rating to opposing receivers in 2018, which both ranked in the top 5 of all draft eligible cornerbacks with a minimum of 300 coverage snaps. He was named a consensus 2018 All-American and won the Jim Thorpe Award, awarded to the best defensive back in college football. Over his entire 4-year tenure at Georgia, Baker only allowed one touchdown.[6] Baker entered the 2019 NFL Draft as one of the best defensive back prospects.

Bakers rookie year was worse than what Worley showed this year. Much worse.

Then add in the baggage.

The fact that someone else made a mistake and took him in the 1st doesnt make me feel like I'm stealing a 1st round pick.

Certainly extortion after the fact, but he may very well be guilty too, and just bought his way out of it.

They should investigate the rest of his history to see which is more likely, and act accordingly.

People going around calling him a bust are beyond ridiculous..the guy was in the league for 1 year..playing the hardest position in the sport, outside of qb..

You guys don't want Okudah and Cj Henderson either? They suck too..you don't want Diggs anymore either? He's been getting beat bad this year too..

You guys are clueless

Dude is a dumb and lazy player. I wouldn't want any part of him. You can't fix those issues.
