A move that many were expecting, and a move that needed to be made.
On Tuesday, the New York Giants officially waived cornerback DeAndre Baker. The second-year man hadn’t been with the team in training camp due to the fact that he was placed on the commissioner’s exempt list in July. Baker was allegedly involved in an incident at a May cookout in Miramar, Florida, an event that led to authorities charging him with four counts of armed robbery.
The Giants had recently been hinting at this transaction, with general manager Dave Gettleman speaking on the matter last Wednesday.
