The Arizona Cardinals are making two-time Pro-Bowl selection Budda Baker the highest-paid safety in the NFL history, giving him a four-year, $59 million contract extension, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The deal will average $14.75 million per year.

Baker, 24, recorded 104 tackles last season, his fourth since being selected in the second round of the 2017 draft out of Washington.
