Budda On The Block????

[Arz101]

Are they "teaching" Budda a lesson for asking for more?

I’ll take a 2025 2nd

Yeah, you can’t just arbitrarily put players on IR… And you especially can’t do it as punishment. Budda knows if he’s hurt or not.

Agree. It is tough for me to believe this staff would mess with his money like this.

Seems a little early to give up on the season but who knows after a couple more Sundays like the last one.

I dunno...Baker and a 4th to the Jets for the rights to Reddick?

so you contend Reddick adds wins to this team?

They are trading the wrong safety.

Interesting. Do you think JT has equitable value? IE, do you think he'd net a return similar to BB? WE have two expensive safeties, one who can't find the ball, and one who's under performing this season.

What do we get for either? At least BB's rep around the league brings value. Im not sure Thompson's would, but Im not super informed...

 

[Harry]

No one is getting a big return, maybe he’d get a 5th conditional. He’s just the most replaceable if they are determined to trade a safety.

I agree with this.

Signs of life from Jalen Thompson today btw.

His best game by mile, and we needed every bit of it.

There were a couple of plays early in the game Jalen looked pathetic.

I mean early on he had the nice PDF against Kittle in the endzone.

Was there some specific play you were thinking of CardNots?

I contend an aging pass rusher is more valuable than an aging safety

Before the Kittle defense. SF receiver running down the left sideline, he got railroaded trying to get in position for the tackle or not tackle. Prior to that I was looking at his jersey number trying to figure out who the hell was missing a tackle like he had never tackled before.

Got it.

I guess he's been disappointing so far this year, but again yesterday was probably his best game of 2024.

Maybe he can build off of it. Need him to be playing at a high level if we're going to be serious about making a run at the playoffs.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

Baker isn't getting a big return trade-wise. They'd probably be better off keeping him and letting him walk in free agency. The comp pick will probably be better value than what they'd get in a trade.

 

[Phrazbit]

Huh? Is this actually a topic?

Other than screaming at the team and fans "WE'RE TANKING AGAIN!!!" what would dumping Budda serve?

He's still a very good player, but, given his contract, his trade value is rather low, and, given our cap situation, his contract is a non-issue.

Look I have always been a Jalen fan, but his play this year has me stumped as to what is happening with him.

 

[TheCardFan]

2 out of three top cap hits are for safeties. We are paying $31M to these two?

I liked what I saw from Dadrion Taylor-Demerson yesterday.

Budda Baker trade? 'Don't believe everything you read'

Arizona Cardinals veteran safety Budda Baker's name has been thrown around as the NFL trade deadline approaches. But should it be?

We need to extend Baker, hes the heart of the defense and playing at a probowl level.
