I don't remember the specifics but IIRC he had red flags based on his character. I thought he was considered a risky pick because of those red flag, even though talent-wise he was a good pick. Also, I think he was benched last year due to attitude problems.
He was called out at team meetings and he also fell asleep during team meetings
Are they resposnsibel for his salary if he is charged for this? or does it come off of the cap?

They might be forced to go that route or they can go get Logan Ryan let him play the slot and have Beal and Ballentine play outside
would love to see the deals being cut behind the scenes to have the victims recant......too late though
Loser costs the Giants 3 picks and himself $10M ...didin't need the money so just doing it for the sport of it.
He was also asked to stay away from the team virtual meetings (some places reported that he was't joining those anyway) to focus on his legal issues.kodycutter said:
He was at the scend of the crime ... his lawyer confirmed it. Baker has a firearm registered in his name. There are sworn affidavits from 4 victims and another witness. Report that Baker and Dunbar had lost roughly $70,000 while gambling at a Miami party earlier that week.
It's the same witnesses that gave sworn video affidavits to the police? Also the reversed affidavits apparently ony cleared Dunbar not Baker
Their lawyers didn't specify if it was the same witnesses as the ones the police have. Neither of them have been cleared yet as far as I'm aware. Both were arrested and are out on bail. Dunbar's bail is lower, but the charges against him are lesser than the ones against Baker.

Rumor that some in the Giants organization had concerns about Bakers attitude before they traded up and drafted him
Giants also fired their long-time SEC scout in late April. Steve Verderosa. Probably connected with my tinfoil hat on.
The Giants aren’t going to cut Baker before due process plays out. They have a ton invested in him, they foolishly traded up to get him, so my guess is he has a longer leash.
I dont think they will wait that long. Yes they foolishly invested a ton in him but he came in with a terrible attitude , was the Worst CB in the NFL as a rookie and now faces 8 criminal charges ... Whats the upside at this point? He becomes a avg to below avg CB with a POS attitude
Another good football mind gone the way of the pressures to garner views and attention with hot takes.
interesting. I wouldn't bet a nickel on it though. Be shocked if we were a playoff team let alone a 3/4 seed.Yenrub said:
We gave up 451 points last year, only two teams gave up more. Season won't hinge on Jones.
Defense always matters!!
And that was with a Rookie QB and their top 5 Offensive Weapons missing time with injuries and Suspensions. Tate, Saquon, Shep, Slayton and Engram combined to miss 24 games. They never had their offense together at any time. Add the Oline should be much improved ... I agree Offense will not be the problem
Should be fun to watch if they can all be on the field at the same time and the OL comes together
I dont see how any of those guys helps the Giants ...
