Giants cornerback DeAndre Baker was charged Friday with four counts of robbery with a firearm in Florida, Broward County state attorney Mike Satz announced.

The formal charges stem from a May 13 arrest. If convicted, Baker faces a mandatory minimum of 10 years and a maximum of life in prison.

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar was arrested during the same incident but the state attorney’s declined charges against Dunbar citing “insufficient evidence.”

Baker is on the NFL’s Commissioner’s Exempt List, and the Giants prohibited him from entering the team facility or participating in virtual meetings. Coach Joe Judge declined comment on “any ongoing legal investigation” last week and the Giants did not offer an updated comment on Baker’s status after the charges were filed.

Baker is accused of robbing four men of more than $750 each in watches and cash “by the use of force, violence, assault or fear” with a gun “in the actual possession of DeAndre Baker,” according to the state attorney’s office.

The next step is to appear in front of a grand jury for an indictment or a dismissal of charges. No next court date has been set, further decreasing the odds of Baker playing in the NFL this season.

“[DeAndre] is ready to go. He goes, ‘I can’t wait to testify,’” Baker’s co-attorney, Patrick Patel, told The Post. “He’s always been ready to testify, ready to do whatever he’s got to do to exonerate himself. He’s disappointed in the decision and questions why it took 90 days to do all of this. What changed all of a sudden to decide to charge him?”

Baker’s other attorney, Bradford Cohen, called it “disgusting … to charge a young man based on admitted liars’ testimony” in an Instagram message.

Cohen applied for pro hac vice, a certificate to have Patel added to the criminal defense team in Florida. Patel originally was just handling Baker’s NFL status and previously filed an appeal of his placement on the Commissioner’s Exempt List.

Baker and Patel, through the NFL Players Association, dropped their appeal Friday because its basis was the absence of charges. Now, the exempt list is the sensible waiting spot as the legal process plays out.

Patel predicted a dismissal weeks ago, after a Miramar Police Department search warrant suggested evidence of an attempted payoff at the office of Dunbar’s then-attorney Michael Grieco. The Florida Bar Association reportedly is investigating Grieco.

Baker’s participation was limited to trying to catch other parties in an extortion scheme, as alerted to authorities, his attorneys maintained.

“In my opinion, I’m shocked there’s charges, but it’s not going to change our day,” Patel told The Post. “We’ve been prepared for trial since minute one on the case. I still predict a dismissal, after a full trial.

“Based up on what the state has put in the media, questioning the four individuals, whether they took bribes or didn’t take bribes or not, they have ruined the credibility of their own witnesses. They’ve done nothing but help us investigating the witnesses and payoffs. We just look forward to cross-examining all of them.”

The NFL released a statement saying it is “monitoring all developments in the matter, which remains under review.”

The Giants can cut Baker while he is on the exempt list, if they so choose. The 2019 first-round draft choice was penciled in as a starter and has three years remaining on his contract.

Sam Beal’s decision to opt out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19 health concerns has left the Giants beyond short-handed at cornerback.

“We are prepared to go forward,” Patel said. “If the Giants decide to cut him, well, we have to say thank you for keeping in our corner this long. And if they decide to cut him and he’s completely exonerated, well, maybe somebody will have to answer to that. I don’t know.”

Baker signed a four-year, $10.5 million contract with a $5.6 million bonus included in the $9 million guaranteed at signing. The Giants could attempt to recoup some of their money if Baker is unable to play, but “it’s very hard to recover money even if you get the right language in the contract,” an NFL executive told The Post.
