Arizona Cardinals‘ five-time Pro-Bowl safety Budda Baker has requested a trade, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Friday.
Baker informed the Cardinals in February that he wanted to be traded or receive a new deal to make him the highest-paid safety, the source said.
Baker is owed $13.1 million this season and $14.2 million in 2024 from a four-year, $59 million extension he signed in 2020 that made him the highest-paid NFL safety at the time.
After being drafted by the Cardinals in the second-round in 2017, Baker has played all six of his NFL season with the Cardinals, leading the team with 111 tackles last season while also intercepting two passes.
