Deandre Baker cut

[HOUSE]

Baker is a freak of nature and basically just a rookie at 24

Perhaps being in the Bills culture would put him on the straight and narrow

If he was from any other team, I'd have suggested the Chiefs practice squad.  But if even KC won't take you...woof...

There’s a certain Chiefs RB that was cut for bad behavior that is currently on the Browns roster.

Hey, someone’s cut, “Let’s Bring Him In”.

 

And the silliness continues.  We have our team.  If Tre doesn’t look ready, and doubt he won’t be ready with the drills he’s doing, you sign Haden.  Plug and Play kind of guy who is smart and can help Elam.

 

This guy is a dud.

 

Whos the next goofball to say, hey let’s sign him.  🤪

Nobody is begging for a signing, more about a tryout, it costs nothing to look. Haden is 33

Bring him in for a cheap contract with no guarantees. 

 

If he doesn't work out cut him immediately. 

 

It's a no lose signing

We could pay his airfare and maybe the extra baggage fee...

If he agrees to this, do it.  What is there to lose?

Just making a point brother.  We will get about 10 more threads in the next two weeks on let’s bring him in.

 

he was cut for a reason.  Haden might be 33, but it’s not like Tre will be out long or even at all.  Hyde and Poyer will be back.  A veteran who is 33, not 36 would be nice depth to play a game or two, and give guidance to Elam.

 

What will a 1st round busy do to help who is off his team?

 

Notman and the others were different as we didn’t have depth.  Now we have Dane coming along and a rookie with Elam.  Stability and leadership will help.

 

 Is it came out this morning, Kareem Hunt is wanting a trade this morning, and that would be a decent add as I just don’t know about Moss.  Hunt is a proven commodity and a beast on 3rd down so Josh doesn’t have to keep being our 3rd down and short option.

The most probable reason for being cut is he probably isn't 100% yet. The Chiefs might believe he won't be ready,  In this case I would pass. We need a healthy body. But, I still bring him in for a physical.  This guy was the highest rated CB in the 2019 NFL draft...

Hamilton Tiger Cats need help, and  Stelco pays well in the off-season.

If he’s on the roster day 1 as a veteran his contract for the year is guaranteed.

Baker was cleared of all charges  and the victims charged with extortion.  So that is not an issue. I think the Bills will bring him in for sure...

 

 

Cleared of charges means you were acquitted or exonerated. He wasn't. The charges were dropped, which is different.

 

He might be innocent. Equally, he might be guilty but the victims figured they'd rather be rich than honest.

 

 

-------------------

"Broward prosecutors dropped the robbery charges against Baker on Monday, the same day the Sheriff’s Office arrested Dean on a charge of extortion.

 

"Baker’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, had argued from the start of the case in May that the alleged victims of the robbery were in it for the money. The men accused Baker of threatening them with a handgun and stealing thousands of dollars in cash and jewelry over a gambling dispute in Miramar.

 

"Charges against a co-defendant, Seattle Seahawks player Quinton Dunbar, fizzled out after the victims signed affidavits swearing he was not involved in the robbery. According to case records, the men had been paid a combined total of $55,000 by Dunbar at a Miami law office days after the alleged robbery.

 

"Earlier this month, the victims signed sworn statements saying Baker, too, was not involved in the robbery.

 

"Dean, who represented three of the victims, tried to get Baker to pay each of them $266,000, promising they would stop cooperating with prosecutors in exchange.

 

"According to the Sheriff’s Office, Dean made arrangements for them to sign the new statements exonerating Baker. Dean had told Cohen that the victims would do “anything" as long as they’re paid, the Sheriff’s Office said.

 

"The affidavits were delivered. The money was not.

 

"Cohen declined to discuss his role in obtaining the new statements, but said Baker paid the men “Zero dollars, with a capital Z.”

Prosecutors said the conduct of the victims left them powerless to bring Baker to justice even if he did commit a crime. “Their credibility is inalterably tarnished,” prosecutor Paul Valcore wrote in a memo explaining the Broward State Attorney’s Office’s decision to drop the charge.

Baker, 23, a cornerback, was the New York Giants' first round pick in the 2019 draft. He graduated from Miami Northwestern High School in 2015 and went on to attend the University of Georgia.

 

"Baker was with the team until after prosecutors charged him with pulling a gun on the gambling party and stealing $73,500 in cash and valuables, including an $18,000 Rolex watch, a Hublot watch valued at $25,000, an Audemars Piguet watch valued at $17,500, a $600 Richard Mille knock-off watch, and at least $12,400 in cash.

 

"Miramar police obtained arrest warrants for the two players. But before they could be carried out, the four victims attended a meeting at the Miami office of attorney Mike Grieco, a Democratic member of the Florida House of Representatives who just won re-election unopposed. At Grieco’s office on May 15, according to case documents, the four men signed the sworn statements clearing Dunbar, Grieco’s client at the time.

When investigators confronted the victims about the flip-flop, the men confessed they had been paid off, according to records released by Miramar police.

 

"The case against Dunbar was hopelessly tainted, and prosecutors cited “insufficient evidence” when they declined to formally charged him. Baker was charged with robbery in August and released from the Giants a month later.

 

"Cohen, Baker’s lawyer, criticized the State Attorney’s Office for pursuing charges against Baker even after the case against Dunbar collapsed.

Dean remained in custody throughout the day Monday. His record with the Florida Bar is unblemished, according to the Bar’s website. A message left at the office of his Miami firm, Ford, Dean and Rotundo, was not returned Monday."

His lawyers are saying it was all a setup. The city is implying they think it happened but there's no chance of getting a conviction with the witnesses so thoroughly tarnished. 

 

It's not clear what happened.

If you get cut by the Chiefs for off-field behavior, it’s time to consider doing things differently. 
 

 

All the questionable stuff happend when he was with the Giants.  KC signed him after he was cleared.  Initially Baker showed at least a little something for a KC team that was shallow in CB depth, but he broke his femer.  He did recover from that and started here and there, but has never lived up to his draft status.  KC is has younger players that basically have passed him up on the depth chart.  He was a good citizen during his time in KC and is going to get another chance somewhere due to age and pedigree.

Just to clarify that....he was let go for lying to the Chiefs about the incident, not the incident itself.  Joking aside, KC will work with guys and give second and third chances.....you just can't lie to the owners face about it.
