Patrick Patel, an attorney for New York Giants cornerback DeAndre Baker, said Wednesday his client is planning to file a lawsuit against Michael Grieco, an attorney for Seattle Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar, because of a Twitter post relating to an alleged armed robbery last week in which both men have been charged.
Paul Schwartzof theNew York Post reported the news.
Grieco posted a text message he said provided evidence Dunbar wasn't involved in the crime:
"Baker is going to immediately file a lawsuit against Grieco for libel and slander—making everybody believe that Baker is in that picture because his name is in the text," Patel told Schwartz.
