If the\u00a0Arizona Cardinals<\/a>\u00a0aren\u2019t playing like a playoff contender leading up to the Nov. 5 trade deadline, GM Monti Ossenfort will likely field offers for All-Pro safety Budda Baker.<\/p>\n

Last year, Budda Baker sought a new deal and\u00a0requested a trade<\/a>\u00a0from the Cardinals He walked back on it after the two sides agreed to a restructured deal that added pay raises to his contract.<\/p>\n

The Cardinals are still in rebuilding mode, and the 28-year-old Baker is entering the final year of his contract. So unless Arizona is willing to meet Baker\u2019s asking price on a contract extension, Ossenfort\u2019s best bet is to shop the veteran Pro Bowler at the deadline.<\/p>\n

Just about any Super Bowl contender would love to add Budda Baker to their roster, but the\u00a0New York Jets<\/a>\u00a0are the most logical landing spot for the six-time Pro Bowler. They need to upgrade the safety position and are in win-now mode with 40-year-old quarterback\u00a0Aaron Rodgers<\/a>.<\/p>\n
