DeAndre Baker’s legal issues remain unresolved, but his status with the Giants has a bit more clarity.
The second-year cornerback, who is facing four charges each of armed robbery and aggravated assault with a firearm from an incident in Florida in May, was placed on the Commissioner’s Exempt List on Monday, a source confirmed. Baker will not report to Giants training camp with the other veteran players on Tuesday and will not count against the Giants’ 90-man roster, but if he remains on the list when the regular season begins, he will receive a weekly paycheck from the league.
