Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker addressed trade rumors on Friday while wearing a Halloween costume at practice, a moment that quickly went viral. Baker, who has maintained a tradition of wearing costumes around Halloween, fielded questions about his future with the team while dressed in his outfit.
"I just live in the present," Baker said. "Look like today, having a great time with you guys, and gonna have a great Friday practice and just focus on playing against the Dallas Cowboys and trying to get a W at their stadium."
Trade deadline looms
The Cardinals are 2-5 this season, and the NFL trade deadline is November 10 at 4 p.m. ET. Baker, 30, is in his 10th season with Arizona and is an eight-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro. He reportedly requested a trade in 2023 before signing a long-term contract with the team. Any trade would require a significant return for the Cardinals.
For now, Baker remains a Cardinal and appeared unconcerned about his status ahead of the deadline.
