The Chiefs have re-signed Deandre Baker for the 2021 season, per a club announcement. The cornerback joined the Chiefs on a practice squad deal in November, shortly after the Broward County State Attorney’s Office dropped armed robbery charges against him. 
Baker struggled as a first-round rookie with the Giants, allowing a 116.2 passer rating. Then, heading into his second year, Baker was arrested on multiple felony charges. Cops alleged that Baker orchestrated a robbery at gunpoint with Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar as his accomplice. Then, after a number of twists and turns — including payoff allegations against one-time Dunbar attorney Michael Grieco — the charges were dropped.
After a month on the taxi squad, Baker got called up to the varsity squad for a couple of games. Now, he’ll work to make the 53-man cut in KC.
In addition to Baker, the Chiefs announced the following futures deals:
- TE Evan Baylis
- LB Omari Cobb
- DE Austin Edwards
- WR Maurice Ffrench
- WR Joe Fortson
- DE Demone Harris
- LB Emmanuel Smith
- C Darryl Williams
- G Bryan Witzmann

Lol, of course Baker is a Chief. Tyreek Hill, Kareem Hunt, Jovan Belcher, and the woman beater Bienemy. Surprised they haven’t signed Ray Lewis as a life coach. Oh wait, they’re is an open linebacker coach spot coming soon…
Low risk high reward
Baker was cleared of his charges but okay.
Cleared? Lol, he just got lucky he robbed criminals.
The other guys’ attorney was arrested for attempting to extort him
Hill was cleared. Kareem Hunt was cut. Saying anything about Belcher shows you have zero intelligence.
Hill was cleared? Not by me. I heard the audio.
Hill was cleared of the child abuse charge. He was not cleared for the domestic violence charge.
The girlfriend (with whom the incident in college occurred) was also suspected in the child abuse case, and she recorded the audio. Ultimately both were cleared.
Thank u for that comment
Some people have no class
I hope they got him on the cheap as he is come off a spiral fracture of his femur bone. Worst bone to break. Most people have trouble walking normal much less covering NFL a wide receivers after breaking that bone.
