The Broncos have released safety Su’a Cravens, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL.com (on Twitter). With a strong secondary, Cravens has been facing an uphill battle to make Denver’s 53-man cut.
While Denver’s previous regime saw Cravens as a dime linebacker, new head coach Vic Fangio told Cravens that he would have to make the roster as a pure safety. That proved to be a huge hurdle for Cravens, who has struggled in coverage.
Cravens was traded to the Broncos last year after spending his first two years in the league with the Redskins. A second-round pick in 2016, he quickly had a falling out with the organization. After injuries, retirement, and un-retirement, he was hoping to take his coat off and stay a while with the Broncos.
Things didn’t pan out that way, and he’s now seeking new employment with days to go before kickoff.
Like Josh Doctson, Su’a Cravens isn’t sure he wants to be a football player (but the money’s nice). Measurables aren’t everything. Motivation and character matter. Fortunately the Redskins have substantially improved their scouting and drafting in the last couple of years.
I’m sure Mia Khalifa is heartbroken.
Gotta agree just anouther poor drat pick by the skins… waste waste and more waste
I was wondering why this was showing up in my Ravens feed, then i realized his name has the word ravens in it lol
