Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker turned heads on Friday when he was quizzed by reporters about his NFL future… while dressed in a full Halloween costume.The bizarre press conference, perhaps unsurprisingly, quickly went viral and fans were left split by the football star’s decision to not take off his mask for reporters.Seemingly trying to add some fun to an often-monotonous moment for the players, Baker was perhaps not expecting to field some hard-hitting questions from the journalists in the room.In a clip that has now been viewed over a million times, a reporter asks: ‘I know you talked about this a little bit earlier in the week, but obviously, as we near the trade deadline, your name seems to be a name that pops up here and there on speculation. How do you look at that? How do you think about all that stuff?’Opting against lifting his mask to speak more freely about a potential life-changing decision, Baker speaks through his scary face-mask, noting: ‘Yeah, just live in the present. You know, like today, having a great time with you guys.’Gonna have a great Friday practice, and just focus on playing against the Dallas Cowboys and trying to get a W at their stadium.’ Budda Baker opted against taking off his Halloween costume to answer reporters’ questions Baker has been the subject of trade speculation as the November 10 deadline fast approachesBaker is an eight-time Pro Bowl safety that has been linked with the exit door in Arizona ahead of the November 10 trade deadline.Earlier in the week, he told ESPN that he had not requested a trade, nor had he had any discussions with general manager Monti Ossenfort about his future.Multiple reports had linked Baker with an exit, as he continues on the second year of the three-year, $54 million contract he signed in December 2024.He is scheduled to earn $16.17 million this season, and expects to be in the lineup to face the Cowboys on Sunday.On social media, meanwhile, fans weren’t sure how to react to Baker’s bizarre mask, with some slamming him for not taking his career seriously, while others sided with him and claimed it was a hilarious move to add some levity to the media session.’He wins the internet today,’ one wrote, while another added: ‘This is a different level of hilarious.’One critic claimed: ‘Clown. Not about it. Joke franchise,’ while another told Baker he was a ‘loser’ for the stunt.
