Cowboys Emerge as Possible Trade Suitor for 8-Time Pro Bowler

The Dallas Cowboys have emerged as a potential trade suitor for Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker ahead of the November 10 NFL trade deadline. Sitting at 2-3 and ranking among the league's worst defenses in yards and points allowed, Dallas is reportedly seeking veteran reinforcements to stabilize its struggling unit. Baker, an eight-time Pro Bowler under contract through 2027, has also drawn interest from other contenders, including the Detroit Lions and Buffalo Bills.

Through five games this season, the 30-year-old Baker has recorded 36 combined tackles, 2.5 sacks, and one interception for the 1-4 Cardinals. Arizona previously traded wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. to the Houston Texans, sparking speculation about further veteran departures. While no formal offer has been reported for a permanent trade involving Baker, Dallas previously addressed its defense by acquiring cornerback Joey Porter Jr. from the Pittsburgh Steelers.
