I mean hindsight is 20/20. Granted he was a 7th, but when we took AB he was still serving summer jail time for an off field infraction at Marshall. Great pick though.

That's Chump Change for NFL Players. You rob me and steal my watch, I am getting a Million Bucks That's another not believeable part of this. The claim is he paid only 55k to 4 guys. A little over 13k a piece, for guys playing in poker games winning or losing 70k a night? Makes no sense. One guy even said he only got 5k. Maybe that was the guy with the fake watch. Haha

One of my fave Giants of all time. Some guys make mistakes and learn from it. Some guys make mistakes and dont. Worst is, some guys make really bad mistakes and can never redeem themselves. DeAndre looks like hes going down that path. Hope Im wrong though.

I could be wrong, but don't recall Baker's off-the-field concerns being a big topic for discussion here at the time we drafted him. You also have his college coach ringing huge endorsements for him. Clearly something was missed. Either way It's a huge, huge wasted source of assets for a desperately rebuilding team. Giants blew this one big-time, I blame everybody. If this is all true I agree it would have to be our worst pick of all time. You and your wife feeling ok? Thanks for asking. I am sleeping quite a bit. It's like that groggy feeling when you wake after a long sleep, but it lasts all day. My wife has full on flu symptoms, although her fever has let up. My concern is that many people go through mild or regular symptoms, start to feel better then relapse into a more severe sickness.

I guy I used to play poker had it. He said that whenever anybody get's sick, they want nothing more to get through it and be better at the earliest instance possible, but COVID doesn't really work like that - its a roller coaster, and you have to settle in and ride to the end. Hang in there.

Where is his accountability? After the draft capital the Giants spent on him to bring him here and this is how he commits to coming back for his second season? Especially after the dismal rookie season he had really just shows he does not care.
The whole thing is nonsense and if this continues to be a problem, then management needs to suspend until he gets it figured out or just cut him
He is selfish too since it makes it tougher on the next player that comes along that may be worth the risk of a pick. At some point, the Giants will start thinking twice about taking a chance on a questionable player.
Just disappointed since the Defensive pieces slowly looked to be coming together and every player counts now the Giants have the Baker mess to contend with and he is still unproven.

Best to treat it with full on respect and hope that the worst isn't so bad.

Pat Leonard was just on a long interview on WFAN. Baker's lawyer called in after the interview for his own long interview.
Bottom line is Leonard thinks Baker will be cut very soon, Baker's lawyer says he will be exonerated soon.
One good point by Baker's lawyer, its now been 2 months since the incident and Baker has still not been formally charged.

If he is never charged and we cut him I will then support any call to fire DG. That would be pure idiocy.

I listened to both interviews on wfan today. What I took from them was Baker's lawyer is trying to separate him from both Dunbar and his supposed childhood friend, Johnson. He's basically accusing them of extortion, and his client of doing nothing. But it is interesting that Dunbar's lawyer resigned. My bet is everyone is lying, and the cops still don't know who (if anyone) is telling the truth. I also bet that if there is an NFL season, Baker won't play and also won't be released until this is resolved.

colleges should take a long hard look at the players who attend them and stop judging them by their football talent and grade them academically first, some of these guys can't even spell their name correctly...

I was really liking the idea of Baker being the #2 CB in his 2nd year. Bradberry, Baker, McKinney and Peppers sounds so promising on paper. Still can't believe this actually happened....or didn't happen

They may wait a bit longer but I don't think there's any way they'll waste a roster spot on someone they didn't want attending their online meetings last month.

Waste a roster spot on the expanded camp roster for a first round pick? They will wait to see what happens.

I can’t tell if Baker’s lawyer is a genius, or a mad evil genius supervillain. I’m excited to see this play out. I wouldn’t bet on him playing this year, but I don’t think he’ll be cut until something actually happens, legally. Maybe we should stop drafting cbs in the first round
