DeAndre Baker News
Free-agent cornerback Deandre Baker worked out for the Cardinals on Wednesday. Baker was selected in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Giants and finished his rookie year with 61 total tackles (48 solo) and eight passes defensed. However, after he was charged with four counts of armed robbery in May 2020, New York opted to part ways with him. The charges were eventually dropped, and he went on to appear in 10 games for the Chiefs over the last two seasons before being released in August 2022. Nonetheless, Baker has proven he has more than enough to play at the professional level. Yet, even if he ends up signing with the Cardinals, he may not receive enough playing time to become a viable IDP fantasy option.
The Kansas City Chiefs cut cornerback DeAndre Baker on Sunday, according to a league source. Baker, a former first-round pick of the New York Giants in 2019 out of the University of Georgia, has played in only 26 games in three NFL seasons due to injuries. He played in just eight games for the Chiefs last year, recording 16 tackles (13 solo) with one pass defensed. It didn't help the 24-year-old's cause for making the final roster this year after the Chiefs drafted three cornerbacks earlier this year. In his three years in the NFL, Baker has 82 tackles (65 solo), three tackles for loss, one sack and 10 passes defensed for the Giants and Chiefs.
Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Deandre Baker (leg), who broke his femur in gruesome fashion in the Week 17 loss to the Chargers, had successful surgery on Monday, according to head coach Andy Reid. Baker played in just two games all season and got some run on Sunday in a meaningless game with the Chiefs having already locked up first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. The former first-round pick of the Giants (30th overall) in 2019, Baker has 66 combined tackles, nine passes defensed and one sack in his first 18 games. Kansas City's secondary will be a little short-handed depth-wise as they enter the playoffs in defense of their Super Bowl title from a year ago.
