NFLPA appeals decision that sent New York Giants’ DeAndre Baker to Commissioner’s Exempt List

There’s a chance we may see cornerback DeAndre Baker at New York Giants training camp after all.

Per Ralph Vacchiano of SNY, Baker’s attorney, Patrick G. Patel, has confirmed the NFLPA has appealed the league’s decision to place Baker on the “commissioner’s exempt list,” which is equivalent to a paid leave of absence.

If he wins the appeal, Baker may be able to attend training camp. Vacchiano reports that the appeal has been filed with the argument that Baker hasn’t officially been charged with a crime but is still being punished by the NFL anyway.
