Earlier this offseason Baker was accused of armed robbery and aggravated assault with a firearm. With his mounting legal troubles, the New York Giants are moving on from him.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport first reported the news in what has been a troubling year for Deandre Baker:

#Giants are set to release CB Deandre Baker, officially moving on from their ex-first rounder this week, source said. Not a surprise, they’d hinted at it… and recently gave away his number. Baker was on the Commissioner’s Exempt list after charges with 4 counts of armed robbery

We’ll keep you updated on the status former UGA corner Deandre Baker. It will be unlikely that he’ll have any suitors as a free agent due to his pending legal issues and his status on the Commissioner’s Exempt List.

Baker’s release is yet to be official, but it is imminent. The Giants have given away Baker’s No. 27 jersey to corner Isaac Yiadom.

The selection of Baker is proving to be a costly one for New York Giants General Manager Dave Gettleman, who may be on the hot seat soon.

Former UGA CB Deandre Baker put on Commissioner’s Exempt List

Former Georgia football CB Deandre Baker has been put on the NFL Commissioner’s Exempt List following multiple charges.

Former star Georgia cornerback Deandre Baker has been placed on NFL commissioner Roger Goodell’s Commissioner’s Exempt List this Monday.

While at a house party, Baker was charged with robbing victims of their money and watches while threatening them with a firearm. Also involved in the incident was Seattle Seahawks cornerback and former Florida Gator Quinton Dunbar, who was also placed on the Commissioner’s Exempt List.

If Baker is convicted, he will face a minimum sentence of 10 years in prison. Florida carries a strict 10-20-life law that states if any person is convicted of 18 certain crimes involving the use of a firearm, including aggravated assault and robbery, they will face a minimum of 10 years in prison.

The Miramar Police Department’s application for an arrest warrant stated that Baker instructed a third party member to shoot one of the partygoers. This thankfully did not happen because Baker would be facing life in prison if it did.

The Giants’ cornerback was already not going to be with the team, dealing with his legal issues, but now the team can most likely get their money back due to Baker being placed on the Commissioner’s Exempt List.

One benefit for the #Giants: They get Deandre Baker out of the building while he awaits his serious legal fate. That was going to happen no matter what, but now they can go after his money and have a chance at recouping it. https://t.co/w3yt1JbIxj
