All charges dropped against former Giants CB DeAndre Baker

The Broward State Attorney's Office announced all robbery charges are being dropped against former New York Giants cornerback DeAndre Baker, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan.

The announcement comes after William Dean, the attorney representing three of Baker's alleged robbery victims, was arrested Monday and is facing an extortion charge related to the case, according to New York Daily News' Pat Leonard.

Dean was reportedly attempting to extort Baker to pay each of his clients more than $266,000, and, in return, they would stop cooperating with prosecutors in the case or change their initial statements to police, Leonard adds.

Baker and Seattle Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar were accused of robbery in May. Prosecutors didn't charge Dunbar due to insufficient evidence, but Baker was initially charged with four counts of robbery with a firearm.

The NFL stated that Baker is free to sign with any team but may face discipline if found to be in violation of the league's Personal Conduct Policy, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

The Giants waived the former first-round cornerback before the start of the 2020 season after he was placed on the Commissioner Exempt List in July.
