Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker didn't let trade rumors ruin his Halloween spirit, as the veteran fielded questions about his uncertain future Friday while wearing a scary mask.
"I just live in the present, like today, having a great time with you guys and gonna have a great Friday practice," Baker said. "Just focus on playing against the Dallas Cowboys and trying to get a W at their stadium."

Baker has made a tradition in recent years of sporting various Halloween-themed masks as the holiday nears.
Baker's name has been linked to trade speculation as the Cardinals sit at 2-5. The 30-year-old said Wednesday that he's neither requested a trade, nor has he asked to stay in Arizona, according to ESPN's Josh Weinfuss.
The eight-time Pro Bowler has produced one interception, 3.5 sacks, and 44 tackles through seven starts this season.
