The NFL trade deadline has passed. While the Arizona Cardinals were included in a lot of trade chatter, it was all talk. There was no action.
The deadline passed on Tuesday with no moves by the Cardinals. They acquired nobody and they didn't send any players elsewhere. Safety Budda Baker, pass rusher Josh Sweat, running back James Conner and cornerback Garrett Williams all remain on the team despite being the subject of trade rumors and speculation.
The Cardinals' only trades were the ones they already completed, sending receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. to the Houston Texans and quarterback Jacoby Brissett to the Baltimore Ravens.
There never seemed to be any real traction for any player except for Baker. According to Jordan Schultz, the Buffalo Bills
had interest in Baker before ultimately landing safety Amani Hooker from the Tennessee Titans. However, per our own Howard Balzer, the Bills weren't serious about Baker, as Hooker is two years younger, has a lower salary and is under contract a year longer than Baker.
The Cardinals didn't have much interest in trading Baker, a franchise icon, per Schultz.
And so the Cardinals will roll on this season and go into next season planning on both Baker and Sweat.
