A witness notified authorities that someone in a Ford pickup truck was swerving lanes. That someone ended up being Ed Oliver, who had an open beer can between his legs and a pistol in the car when he was pulled over. A field sobriety test determined Oliver to be impaired. 

“We are aware of the situation and we are gathering more information. We will have no further comment at this point,” the Bills said in a statement, regarding the arrest.

If that statement sounds familiar, it’s because it echos the Redskins’ response to WR Cody Latimer being arrested, Saturday, for gun charges. “We are aware of the situation and have informed the NFL League Office,” the organization said in a statement. “We will continue to gather more information and have no further comment at this time.”

Oliver was one of four total NFL players arrested on Saturday. In addition to himself and Latimer, New York Giants’ DeAndre Baker and Seahawks’ Quinton Dunbar were both arrested as well.

Oliver was drafted by the Bills No. 9 overall in the 2019 NFL Draft.

Deandre Baker and Quinton Dunbar have been accused of an armed robbery at a cookout.

Perhaps the wildest news to come out of the NFL this past week was an alleged armed robbery conducted by New York Giants star Deandre Baker and Seattle Seahawks player Quinton Dunbar. As the story goes, Dunbar, Baker, and a third man allegedly pulled up to a cookout in Florida wearing masks and robbed everyone for their cash and jewelry before making a break for it in some sports cars. According to the police, Baker had a gun with him and even used it to threaten some of the people at the party.

Now, in a report from TMZ, it was revealed by Baker’s attorney that the Giants star has turned himself in to police and is now facing multiple charges of armed robbery and aggravated assault. The attorney has maintained Baker’s innocence and says that there are plenty of witnesses who can prove it.
