The New York Giants are preparing to officially kick off training camp on July 28, and it appears both cornerback Deandre Baker and kicker Aldrick Rosas are planning to attend.
Both players are currently dealing with off the field issues. Baker was arrested earlier this offseason on four counts of armed robbery and four counts of aggravated assault in Florida.
Rosas is facing three misdemeanor charges from a hit-and-run in California. The Giants reportedly haven’t told either player they are unwelcome at camp, so the pair are planning to attend when players arrive next week, per Ryan Dunleavy of The Post.
As of Friday afternoon, the Giants had not informed Baker’s camp that he is unwelcome at their facility. Baker has alerted authorities in Broward County that he is traveling to New Jersey on Sunday. Baker would then report to his second NFL camp on Tuesday to receive his first of two required COVID-19 tests and then join his teammates and check into the team hotel for two days of virtual meetings.
The Giants declined comment when asked if Baker and kicker Aldrick Rosas – facing three misdemeanor charges from a hit-and-run collision in California – are welcome at camp if nothing changes with either’s legal status between now and then.
This situation is fluid and it isn’t clear what the future holds for either player but as of now, it appears they will be attending training camp barring a change.
