SB Nation's Jarrett Bailey predicts the Detroit Lions may pursue a trade for Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker during their Week 6 bye week. The forecast suggests this move could occur after the Lions’ matchup against the Cardinals, potentially to strengthen their secondary, especially given injury concerns for current safeties Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch. While this speculation is intriguing, no active pursuit has been confirmed by the Lions. General manager Brad Holmes has been known to make aggressive moves when aiming to enhance the team's championship prospects.
