Robbery charges against former Giant DeAndre Baker dropped as lawyer arrested

• Cornerback was facing a possible life sentence over alleged crime
• Lawyer of alleged victims arrested over charges of extortion

One of the strangest NFL stories of 2020 appears to have reached a conclusion, with robbery charges against the former New York Giants cornerback Deandre Baker dropped by authorities in Florida.

The 23-year-old Baker was facing a possible life sentence after he was charged with four counts of robbery. The allegations claimed Baker, along with Seattle Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar and two other men, robbed partygoers of thousands of dollars in cash, watches and other valuables during a party in Florida in May. The charges against Dunbar were dropped in August. Baker, a first-round pick for the Giants in 2019, was released by the team this summer.
