It's possible Baker and Dunbar do time, it's possible they go to trial but are found not guilty, it's possible they plead to a suspended sentence to avoid prison, it's possible all charges are dropped.
That side of it is unpredictable at this point. But as far as the NFL is concerned, I find it hard to believe they will avoid suspension.
Why? Let's say Baker and his attorney have been telling the truth from the start. Baker went to the party, played madden and left when a fight broke out. The thugs wait an hour (time to make up a story) and call the police. They then extort Baker. Why would the nfl suspend him?
So these criminal masterminds (with arrest records) decided to go through all that trouble to split $55K between the four of them? I just find it hard to believe that Baker and Dunbar are just innocent victims of a shakedown. I also find it hard to believe that Baker and Dunbar suddenly decided to pull out a gun and rob a bunch of thugs during a party. But somewhere in the middle of these two unlikelihoods is what actually happened. My best guess is that Baker and/or Dunbar felt like they had been cheated out of money by these guys and so they demanded their money back at gunpoint. They didn't think the thugs would call the police because a) they're thugs with criminal records and b) it was money from illegal gambling. But after discussing it the thugs decided that Baker and Dunbar had more to lose than they did and so they went ahead and called the police.

Nobody here knows what happened. You dais in a previous post that no matter how it turns out you done see how Baker is going to avoid a suspension. If it turns out that he did nothing wrong and is a victim of blackmail plot then there will be no suspension.
From the beginning Bakers attorney said he was being blackmailed. He has two other eye witnesses that state that Baker didn't rob anyone. Not there thugs that claim that they were robbed.
Dunbar's attorney is the one claiming that there accusers changed their story. He's also there guy that setup the payoff.
This easily could turn out right for Baker. I think at this point it's best to let things play out before judging the player. I think that's exactly what Judge and the Giants are doing. Let the facts come out and make your judgment afterwards. They shouldn't cut someone based on an accusation.
