It’s a move that many expected, and it’s now reportedly become official. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the NFL has placed New York Giants cornerback DeAndre Baker on the Commissioner’s Exempt list. Baker is currently facing four counts each of armed robbery and aggravated assault (both with a firearm) after an alleged incident at a May cookout in Florida.
