Seahawks CB Quinton Dunbar officially removed from exempt list

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar has officially been removed from the Commissioner Exempt List and can report to training camp.

As expected, the NFL has officially removed Seattle Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar from the Commissioner Exempt List. The transaction was made official on Sunday.

“The NFL has now officially removed Seahawks CB Quinton Dunbar from the Commsioner’s Exempt list and he’s a part of Seattle’s active roster,” ESPN’s Field Yates tweeted. “A key part of their secondary can now begin working with his new team.”

Dunbar was arrested in May on suspicion of four counts of armed robbery in Florida. Just last week, the Broward County Prosecutor’s Office declined to file charges, stating a lack of evidence.

The league can still take action against Dunbar after an investigation of its own. But for now, Dunbar is free to report to the VMAC to join his Seahawks teammates at training camp once he clears the mandated COVID-19 testing protocols.

Seahawks CB Quinton Dunbar not charged with armed robbery

In a stunning turn of legal events, Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar will not be charged with armed robbery by Broward County prosecutors.

 

In a stunning turn of legal events, recently acquired Seattle Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar will not be charged with armed robbery by Broward County prosecutors.

Dunbar, his legal team, and Seahawks fans everywhere are likely breathing a giant sigh of relief. It has been a tumultuous summer for Dunbar, as he was issued a warrant for his arrest back in May in an alleged connection with armed robbery.

Dunbar, along with Giants cornerback DeAndre Baker, were both arrested on four counts of robbery with a firearm. In Florida, if convicted of such an act, carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years, with the potential of up to life in prison.

Although the State of Florida allowed Dunbar to attend Seahawks training camp, things started to look considerably worse when he and Baker were accused of paying off the alleged victims $55,000 to stay quiet. Shortly after, Dunbar replaced his attorneys with new representation.

While Dunbar’s case may have been dropped, New York’s DeAndre Baker is still mired in legal jeopardy as he was charged with four counts of armed robbery with a firearm.

Of course, this is exciting news for Seahawks fans everywhere, who continue to be treated with positive developments in the secondary.

Seattle’s secondary has been a considerable weak link these last two years, and now the unit will boast the likes of Jamal Adams at safety and Dunbar at corner. With Quandre Diggs and Shaquill Griffin to round out the starting four, fans will wonder if this group has the makings of a Legion of Boom 2.0.
