Redskins trade Cravens to Broncos for 5th-round pick
The Washington Redskins have agreed to trade Su'a Cravens to the Denver Broncos in a five-pick deal that will see the two teams swap draft selections in the fourth and fifth rounds, with the Broncos also sending another fifth-round pick to Washington to complete the deal, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports, citing a source.
The Broncos will receive the 113th and 149th overall picks while the Redskins will get the 109th, 142nd, and 163rd overall selections in return, Schefter reports.
Cravens tweeted his response to the deal on Tuesday.

The Broncos have been rumored to be pursuing Cravens since February.
The 22-year-old safety was a Redskins second-round pick in 2016, but Cravens sat out the entire 2017 season after an injury-plagued rookie campaign.
Aside from a biceps injury and going under the knife for knee surgery, Cravens said he feared he suffered permanent damage to his eyesight due to a concussion. He threatened to retire ahead of the 2017 season and Washington placed him on its exempt list.
He was reinstated by the NFL in February.
The Broncos continue to retool their secondary. The "No Fly Zone" that once featured Aqib Talib and T.J. Ward will move forward with Cravens joining Chris Harris Jr., Bradley Roby, Darian Stewart, and Justin Simmons.
