Quinton Dunbar and DeAndre Baker have maintained their innocence in a wild story that ended up with each NFL cornerback being accused of armed robbery.

Dunbar, who was traded to the Seattle Seahawks this offseason, made it official.

Dunbar officially pleaded not guilty to four counts of armed robbery, according to Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times. The charges came from an alleged incident in which three men, including the two NFL players, were accused of robbing guests at an illegal dice game in Miramar, Florida.

While the NFL’s conduct policy accounts for instances in which a player avoids a conviction, pleading guilty practically ensures a suspension.

Quinton Dunbar, DeAndre Baker try to make amends with teams

The NFL will still investigate Dunbar and Baker, a 2019 first-round pick of the New York Giants, regardless of what happens in the court system.

Baker was accused of pulling out a gun at the dice game last week and telling Dunbar and a third unidentified man to rob the other guests. Dunbar’s bail was set at $100,000 and Baker’s was set at $200,000. They both made bond and were released.

There are messes for each player to clean up with their respective teams. Dunbar apologized to the Seahawks on an Instagram post for unnecessary distractions. The New York Post said Baker asked the Giants’ vice president of security that his apologies be relayed to teammates and general manager Dave Gettleman. He has been asked to stay away from virtual team meetings.

Baker, Dunbar face multiple charges

Whatever happens legally, the story will be far from over for the cornerbacks.

Their teams and the NFL will have their say when the legal system is done. Baker faces four charges of armed robbery with a firearm and four counts of aggravated assault with a firearm. Dunbar faces four charges of armed robbery.

Dunbar just joined the Seahawks this offseason after a trade with the Washington Redskins. His not guilty plea is just the first step of many.

The attorney for Seattle Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar is claiming his client was never at a cookout at a Florida home where an armed robbery allegedly unfolded.

Michael Grieco tweeted Wednesday night: “If, according to the accusers, our client Quinton Dunbar lost a bunch of money earlier in the week at some gambling party (suggesting he had motive)..why did the organizer text Dunbar about not knowing about the prior party and what went down? Answer: because he wasn’t there. So, did the ‘victims’ accuse the wrong guy of robbery or did they fabricate this motive just like they did the whole rest of the case? Good thing I can account for Quinton’s whereabouts all 3 days prior to the alleged robbery for good measure.”

Grieco included a screenshot of a text from organizer, which said: “You missed some good money yesterday bro dolphin players Dre baker even beat him we beat him out of 10k on the game and then it’s was shooting dice bout another 60k out there”

Dunbar and New York Giants cornerback DeAndre Baker were allegedly attending the cookout last week when a fight broke out, and Baker purportedly pulled out a handgun, according to the warrant. Baker, Dunbar and two other men allegedly began robbing people of thousands of dollars, watches and other valuables, witnesses told investigators.

Baker’s lawyer said Tuesday his client was playing video games when the crime occurred.

Patrick Patel, one of the second-year NFL player’s attorneys, told the New York Post that his client was in a different room when the incident at the home in Miramar occurred.

“Far from an individual who’s going somewhere with an alleged intent to rob somebody, an armed robbery, to go there and hook up his ‘Madden’ game, play the game for over an hour and then leave it there and go home,” Patel told the newspaper.

Dunbar is charged with four felony counts of armed robbery. The Seahawks defender posted a $100,000 bond.

Baker posted a $200,000 bond after a Zoom hearing with Broward Circuit Judge Michael Davis. The New York Giants defender is charged with four counts of armed robbery with a firearm and four counts of aggravated assault with a firearm in the incident.

Baker and Dunbar have both apologized to their teams.

Dunbar signed with Washington as an undrafted free agent out of Florida in 2015 and was traded to the Seahawks in March. He started 11 games for the Redskins last season, making 37 tackles and four interceptions.

Baker was one of three first-round draft picks the Giants had last season. He was the 30th pick overall out of Georgia. He played in all 16 games, starting in 15. He had 61 tackles and no interceptions.

Defense attorney Brock Schoenlein said his client does not have a criminal history and it’s the defense’s belief that the case should remain in juvenile court.

“We keep talking about this helmet. Guys, the helmet is made of plastic, the helmet is not a weapon,” he told media after a hearing Monday. “It’s there to soften the blow. It’s not there to do more damage. His skull is harder than the helmet. So when we talk about what happened, it would probably make more sense for us to stop talking about the helmet as an aggravating factor.”

The legal troubles began for the juvenile when he allegedly headbutted an official during a game in August at Welcome Stadium against Roger Bacon. The player, who was 17, was charged with felonious assault causing serious physical harm in Montgomery County Juvenile Court. Prosecutors are trying to transfer the case into adult court.

A Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office spokesman said the office believes the helmet was used as a weapon.

“This defendant, wearing a helmet to protect himself, head-butted a referee who was not wearing any protective gear,” the statement said. “Any reasonable person would find that the defendant used the helmet as a weapon. The NFL rulebook even has an Article that addresses using a helmet as a ‘weapon.’”

The Monday hearing in Montgomery County Juvenile Court was supposed to be a full probable cause hearing where prosecutors would have tried to convince the judge through testimony that there was enough evidence to move the case forward.

Montgomery County Juvenile Court Judge Helen Wallace said during the hearing that the defense and prosecutor’s office agreed to certain facts of the case, including that the video showing the charged juvenile allegedly head-butt an official was an accurate depiction of what took place, that the official went to the emergency room and was diagnosed with a “closed head injury with concussion-like symptoms” and that a Dayton police officer would testify to the facts of the case.

The agreement allowed the court to forgo the hearing, and Wallace is expected to make a ruling on whether there’s enough evidence to proceed in the case at a later date.

Schoenlein told the media that whether the official suffered a concussion is important to how severely the juvenile could be punished.

“We’ve all seen the video, and that’s not what at issue here,” he said. “What’s at issue is … whether or not the referee actually has a concussion, because I have not been given anything by anybody — medical or otherwise— that confirms that he actually has a concussion. Because if that’s the case, then we would be talking about not a felony, it would be a misdemeanor.”

An amenability hearing is set for next month — where the defense and prosecutor’ will argue whether the teen can be rehabilitated in the juvenile system.
