DeAndre Baker still awaiting his next court date
ESPN’s Jordan Raanan is reporting that three of the four victims involved in the robbery that former New York Giants’ cornerback DeAndre Baker pulled off earlier in the year have recanted their statements.
From Raanan:
Julius Lamar, Steven Compton and Tommy J. Hartshaw said in sworn statements that Baker “did not directly or indirectly participate in any robbery or assist in a robbery at the scene or elsewhere.” The three men added that they didn’t see Baker rob or assault anyone with or without a firearm.
Baker is currently being charged in Florida with four counts of robbery while possessing a firearm. Everything allegedly went down at a party in May down in Miramar, Florida.
The Giants ended up releasing Baker once he was charged and he is currently a free agent, but is on the commissioner’s exempt list. If he’s convicted he could serve anywhere between 10 years to life in prison, which is crazy to think about for a football player that was drafted in the first round in 2019 out of the University of Georgia.
Baker’s next court date is set for December 2nd. If he somehow avoids jail time, I cant imagine that the Giants will bring him back.

Don’t we still need help at that position, and don’t we know his potential better than anyone else … ,perhaps a player we can excuse for his immaturity and being in the wrong place at the wrong time – wasn’t he otherwise a good kid?
Bring him back. Doubt he will put himself in any compromising positions again. Other teams take chances on players who mess up. Giants need to stop being so holy and give this young man a second chance. If he screws up again then dump him. Let’s go, the defense needs another solid corner and he showed potential.
