NFL Trade Deadline: 5 players most likely to get traded

Denver Broncos v Kansas City Chiefs — Russell Wilson headlines a bunch of players who could be on the move before October 31

#4) Budda Baker

Arizona Cardinals v Washington Commanders

Budda Baker has been a cornerstone for the Arizona Cardinals since coming off the board as No. 36 in 2017. In that time, the safety has been a five-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro and helped the team to a playoff appearance in 2021.

However, since said playoff appearance, the Cardinals have been horrible, and his play can only do so much. Baker will also be entering the final year of his contract in 2024, and the first-year head coach/general manager tandem of Jonathan Gannon and Monti Ossenfort would want to kickstart a major rebuild under whoever the 2024 No. 1 pick will be (more on that later) by trading him to a contender for picks.
