Su’a Cravens was mentioned in an article discussing the troubles in the Washington Redskins’ front office, and he is not happy about it.
The Monday Morning Quarterback’s Albert Breer wrote an article published last week in which he examined what led to the departure of GM Scot McCloughan. Breer identified three key points that contributed to McCloughan’s firing. One was the Kirk Cousins contract situation; McCloughan wanted to extend the QB, while president Bruce Allen didn’t. The second point had to do with a biceps injury for Cravens.
According to Breer, when Cravens initially injured his biceps on Dec. 11, the team thought it was a tear, but it turned out to be a bruise. Cravens missed two games which supposedly upset some teammates. After Cravens missed a treatment prior to Week 17, McCloughan called the player. That didn’t sit well with some who felt the GM was overstepping his bounds.
Even though the Cravens anecdote was mentioned in the context of a strained Allen-McCloughan relationship, the Washington safety did not appreciate being caught up in the middle.
The USC product was on vacation in Hawaii and must have just gotten around to the article, because he tweeted some angry thoughts on Monday night and promised to go Marshawn Lynch on the media.

I’m not really sure how Cravens was “slandered” in the article as he thinks. This wasn’t even about him. Sure, there was talk that some players felt he should have played through his injury, but I’m not really sure how freezing reporters out is going to help his situation. He really would be best off just letting it go.
