The Buffalo Bills made a significant push to acquire Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker ahead of the NFL trade deadline, according to a report from Cardinals Wire. The Bills reportedly presented what was described as a "compelling package" in an attempt to land the All-Pro defensive back.
The news emerged on November 11, 2026, as the league's trade deadline approached. Baker, a five-time Pro Bowl selection, has been a cornerstone of the Cardinals' secondary since being drafted in 2017. While the specific details of the offer were not disclosed, the report indicates Buffalo was aggressive in its pursuit of the 28-year-old safety.
No deal was ultimately completed before the deadline passed, and Baker remains with the Cardinals. The Bills, who have been active in bolstering their defense in recent seasons, will likely continue to explore options to strengthen their backfield.
