The Washington Redskins are likely to part ways with Su’a Cravens this offseason, and they would obviously prefer to trade the former second-round pick rather than having to release him. Perhaps the Denver Broncos can be of assistance.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Broncos are interested in trading for Cravens and have been in contact with Washington about making a deal.
The #Broncos are in talks to trade for #Redskins S Su’a Cravens, sources say. They are the team most interested and the likely landing spot for the talented former 2nd rounder, though no deal is done yet.

Cravens left the Redskins early last season under some unusual circumstances, and they eventually ruled him ineligible to play. He underwent knee surgery before the season began, and Redskins coach Jay Gruden said the former USC star was dealing with personal issues as rumors swirled that he was contemplating retirement.
While Cravens dealt with a knee injury last offseason and an arm injury during his rookie year, his agent released a statement back in December indicating concussions were the issue. Trading for Cravens would obviously be a risk given all that has transpired over the past several months, but there’s no denying he is a talented player.
