The Green Bay Packers have already bolstered their roster with a prominent safety acquisition this offseason. Nonetheless, there’s speculation about a potential trade scenario that could see the All-Pro safety Budda Baker joining their ranks, aiming to fortify their secondary and create one of the most formidable defensive backfields in the NFL.

Baker had expressed interest in a trade prior to the commencement of the 2023 season, although the Arizona Cardinals managed to retain him. However, with Baker’s current contract set to expire after just one more year, the Cardinals might seek to capitalize on his value before he hits free agency.

Maurice Moton of Bleacher Report outlined various trade propositions for the NFL’s leading Super Bowl contenders, with one suggestion involving the Packers pursuing Baker.

According to Moton, “The Packers have the opportunity to significantly enhance their defensive lineup by bringing in Budda Baker, thus forming one of the league’s most formidable safety duos. Given the relatively subdued market for safeties, Green Bay could potentially secure Baker from the Arizona Cardinals with a late-round draft pick, notwithstanding his five consecutive Pro Bowl selections.”

 

Green Bay Packers are poised to emerge as a genuine Super Bowl.

The Green Bay Packers are poised to emerge as a genuine Super Bowl contender merely two seasons following the departure of future Hall of Fame Quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Jordan Love, along with his remarkably youthful yet skilled array of offensive weapons, made a significant impression on the league during the 2023 season.

In the upcoming off-season, the primary focus will be on elevating the defense to championship standards. Under the leadership of new defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley, Green Bay has welcomed an entirely fresh defensive coaching staff, one that anticipates greater defensive performance compared to recent years.
