The Arizona Cardinals have turned down a trade offer for All-Pro safety Budda Baker, according to reports. The decision keeps the four-time Pro Bowl selection in Arizona as the team continues its 2026 NFL season.
Baker, 30, has been a cornerstone of the Cardinals' defense since being drafted in the second round in 2017. He earned first-team All-Pro honors in 2020 and has consistently ranked among the league's top defensive backs.
The Cardinals (3-6) hosted the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium on November 1, where Baker participated in pregame warmups. Arizona's front office reportedly fielded interest in the veteran safety but opted to retain him rather than pursue a rebuild-centered deal.
No details about the offering team or compensation package were disclosed. Baker is under contract through the 2027 season after signing a three-year extension in 2022.
