Arizona's last move of the offseason should be a contract extension for safety Budda Baker.
The wave of free agency frenzy and the NFL draft has come and gone in the desert, and Arizona is mostly satisfied with their body of work.
The Cardinals nabbed 12 players in the draft while bolstering the defensive side of the ball in free agency. It was nothing close to sexy - nor should it be in the second season of a rebuild under general manager Monti Ossenfort. Now is typically the time where you'll see teams and players attempt to handle some last minute business before training camp arrives.
We saw this last year with star safety Budda Baker, who - in desire of a new contract - reportedly demanded to be one of the top-paid players at his position and eventually went public with his trade request.No years were added to the contract, however. Baker is still set to hit free agency following the 2024 season."Baker, 28, is a big part of the Cardinals' defense, coming off five straight Pro Bowl selections even if his overall numbers were down a bit last season .
Baker's constantly been heralded as the heart and soul of the defense, and rightfully so. The Cardinals are a much better team with No. 3 patrolling the field, though we'll see if Ossenfort wants to play the waiting game when it comes to his star safety and the financial commitment it will take to keep him around.Donnie Druin is the Publisher for All Cardinals and Inside The Suns.
