The Denver Broncos have executed a trade that will bring 2016 second-round pick Su’a Cravens from Washington to Denver, as first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Cravens, a linebacker-safety hybrid out of USC, has had an interesting start to his career, to say the least. After playing in 11 games (three starts) as a rookie at both linebacker and safety, and registering 23 tackles, a sack, and an interception, the promising young player was slated to be the full-time starter at free safety in 2017.

Just a week before the season, though, Cravens shockingly announced his decision to retire from the game of football, citing personal and health reasons. After some convincing from Redskins team president, Bruce Allen, Cravens decided to hold off on the retirement and was placed on the team’s exempt list and later on the reserve/left squad list, forfeiting the entire 2017 season.

Talks of a potential Cravens-to-Denver trade began to surface at the NFL Scouting Combine in early March and apparently were pushed through at the Annual League Meeting in Orlando this week.

The full details of the trade are as follows:

Broncos get

Su’a Cravens

2018 4th-round pick (113)

2018 5th-round pick (149)

Redskins get

2018 4th-round pick (109)

2018 5th-round pick (142)

2018 5th-round pick (163)

Cravens projects to help Denver with their struggles to cover the tight end from the linebacker and safety positions.
