With football at a standstill until training camp begins in a few weeks, the New York Giants are merely waiting for their players’ legal issues to be ironed out.
DeAndre Baker was accused of armed robbery and has since taken significant steps toward innocence. The initial witnesses that claimed his involvement have since rescinded their comments. According to Baker’s lawyer, they have written affidavits indicating he wasn’t involved.
Baker was reportedly playing Madden in a separate room when the incident occurred, and the statements exonerate Baker from any involvement. However, the legal system is still being drawn out, and the Giants are awaiting clearance for him to return to normal activities.
