Budda Baker Expected To Report For Minicamp

Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker, who asked for a trade in April, is expected to report for the team's mandatory minicamp, which would be his first time on the field this offseason. It will also be Baker's first time working in head coach Jonathan Gannon's and defensive coordinator Nick Rallis' scheme on the field. It's good news the Cardinals will be getting the five-time Pro Bowler back at practice. The 27-year-old wants to be the highest-paid safety in the NFL after making the Pro Bowl in five of his first six NFL seasons. He remains under contract for two more seasons, so there's no guarantees that anything gets done anytime soon. Baker finished 2022 with 111 tackles (75 solo), two interceptions, seven passes defensed and one forced fumble in 15 starts and will remain a top-five defensive-back target in IDP leagues.
