Broncos acquire safety Cravens from Redskins

The Denver Broncos officially acquired second-year safety Su'a Cravens from the Washington in exchange for draft considerations Thursday, one day after reports the teams had reached an agreement.

In return for Cravens, the Broncos swapped fourth- and fifth-round selections for the 2018 draft and Denver also gave up an additional fifth-rounder. The Redskins also received an unspecified conditional pick in 2020.

Cravens was taken in the second round and 53rd overall in the 2016 NFL Draft. He recorded an interception, five passes defensed and a sack in three starts and 11 games overall as a rookie. He missed five games with a concussion and an arm injury.

After considering retirement and sitting out the 2017 season, Cravens was reinstated in February by the NFL to active status from the team's reserve/left squad list. With his reinstatement granted, Cravens became eligible to play again, but there was still the question of whether or not his team would want him back.

Cravens' agent, Fadde Mikhail, announced in a December statement that Cravens had been cleared to resume all football activities after being treated for post-concussion syndrome and intended to return for 2018.

Cravens, 22, suffered a concussion in Week 4 of 2016 and suggested a week later on social media that he needed to wear glasses full-time as a result of the injury. A CSN Mid-Atlantic report shortly afterward said there was "no truth" to Cravens' claim.

He reportedly considered retirement leading up to the 2017 season, ultimately deciding to step away from the team for a year and reevaluate.
