Redskins trade safety Su'a Cravens to Broncos Print By Kevin Patra Around the NFL writer Published: March 28, 2018 at 11:50 a.m. Updated: March 28, 2018 at 01:21 p.m. The Washington Redskins finally shipped safety Su'a Cravens to the Denver Broncos. The Redskins traded Cravens to the Broncos for a fifth-round pick, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported, per a source informed of the move. Clubs also swapped fourth- and fifth-round picks. ESPN first reported the deal. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported during the NFL Scouting Combine that Denver was in talks to acquire the 22-year-old safety. Weeks later a swap is completed. Cravens sat out the entire 2017 season on the reserve/left squad list after contemplating retirement amid concussion concerns. Cravens was reinstated in February. The 2016 second-round pick played well in his rookie season in a hybrid safety/linebacker role, compiling 34 tackles, one sack, five passes defended and an interception. The USC linebacker employs athleticism and versatility that are a commodity in today's NFL. Cravens' history of concussions put his future in murky territory. If he bounces back, Denver gains a talented, versatile player as Vance Joseph attempts to remake his defense in 2018.
