The Arizona Cardinals are hoping to surpass what they achieved in the past by making a deep playoff run this season. For that to happen, they front office may have to consider trading Pro Bowler safety Budda Baker to the Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles.
In a recent media session, Baker discussed his performance in the Cardinals’ victory over the Los Angeles Rams and shared insights on the upcoming matchup against the Detroit Lions. Reflecting on his contributions, the safety emphasized his focus on maintaining a high level of play and supporting his teammates on defense. He acknowledged the importance of adapting to the game’s dynamics and highlighted the need for communication among players to ensure a cohesive defensive strategy.
As the season progresses, Baker noted the challenges posed by Detroit’s offense, which includes a strong ground game and talented receivers. He stressed the significance of staying disciplined and executing their game plan effectively. Baker also expressed confidence in the Cardinals’ defensive unit, believing they can rise to the occasion and perform well against tough opponents.
Looking ahead, Baker’s leadership and experience will be crucial as the team aims to build on their recent success. His ability to read plays and make impactful tackles positions him as a key figure in the Cardinals’ defensive efforts. With a strong mindset and determination to improve, Baker is ready to face the Lions and contribute to his team’s success in the upcoming game. His focus on teamwork and preparation remains at the forefront as the Cardinals strive for a strong season.
Arizona Cardinals’ Budda Baker Named as Possible Trade Target for Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles
In the event Arizona wants to improve the roster ahead of the deadline, they can go ahead and trade Baker. According to the latest NFL analysis by Kristopher Knox for Bleacher Report, the two projected teams are the Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles.
“The more the Arizona Cardinals play like a potential competitor, the less likely they’ll be to entertain trade offers for safety Budda Baker. Sunday’s 41-10 drubbing of the Rams might be reason enough for the Cardinals to be buyers and not sellers ahead of the deadline—depending on how the next few weeks go, of course.
Still, Baker looms as Arizona’s top realistic trade chip. He’s a six-time Pro Bowler who remains an elite playmaker at 28 years old. He’s also set to be a free agent in 2025.
The Cardinals should expect to receive trade calls if they slide at all before November 5. Even if they’re not eager to move him, doing so would certainly yield a substantial draft haul,” Knox wrote.
Baker has emerged as a potential trade target for teams like the Browns and Eagles. With his contract set to expire after this season, Baker’s elite skills and leadership make him a valuable asset.
Despite speculation, the Cardinals’ recent strong performance may deter them from trading him before the November deadline. As discussions about his future continue, it seems both Baker and the team are inclined to stay together, emphasizing their commitment to a competitive season ahead.
