Two NFL players wanted on armed robbery charges: What to know about DeAndre Baker and Quinton Dunbar

DeAndre Baker and Quinton Dunbar are currently wanted for armed robbery by Miramar (Florida) police and have yet to turn themselves in to answer the arrest warrants issued. According to the police report, Baker brandished a semi-automatic weapon as he stole cash and watches from partygoers at a cookout in Miramar, with the assistance of Dunbar, and then escaped in seemingly well-positioned and lavish getaway vehicles. The allegations take an even darker turn with witnesses stating that although the firearm was not discharged, there was an order given to shoot one of the attendees.

As it stands, the NFL joins the New York Giants and Seattle Seahawks in investigating the matter but also in withholding judgment and further comment while they and Miramar PD do so. Should either or both be indicted on the charges they'd face extensive prison time. If Baker is ultimately convicted of holding a semi-automatic weapon, for example, he'd be up against a mandatory 15-year minimum sentence on each of the four robbery charges -- barring a plea deal -- based upon Florida Law, per CBS Sports legal analyst Amy Dash

Dunbar is set to earn a base salary of $3.25 million from the Seahawks in 2020, and while Baker is still under his rookie deal, the fact he's a first-round pick grants him a higher salary than most others from his draft class. He's set to hit the Giants salary cap for $2.392 million this coming season, assuming he remains on their roster. That same tenuous air now hangs over the future of Dunbar in Seattle as well, where the team was looking forward to seeing the player who reeled in a career-best four interceptions in 2019

Hard to understand why two players both earning millions would resort to what amounts to petty theft for them.
