Redskins Exec Doug Williams On Su’a Cravens: “Everybody Is Tradeable If The Price Is Right”

March 26, 2018

Redskins senior VP of player personnel Doug Williams wouldn’t rule out trading S Su’a Cravens “if the price is right.”

“Su’a is a good football player. He’s on the football team right now,” Williams said, via the Washington Post. “The thing about this business, everybody is tradeable if the price is right. I think that’s how we’ve got to look at it. We’re not giving anybody away who has talent.”

While it’s clear that the Redskins are open to trading Cravens, there hasn’t been a lot of buzz about a potential deal this offseason.

John Keim mentioned a few weeks ago that he expects the Redskins to trade Cravens at some point and most of the sources he’s spoken to believe Washington could get close to a fifth-round pick for him.
Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk, citing a league source, reports that the Redskins are believed to be targeting third-round pick in exchange for Cravens. However, the offers Washington for Cravens aren’t in line with this kind of compensation.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reported that the Broncos were in trade talks for Cravens and Denver was the team with the most interest and considered the likely landing spot him in the end.

Cravens was officially reinstated by the NFL earlier this offseason after spending the 2017 season on the reserve/left squad list.

Adam Schefter reported a few months ago that Cravens received medical clearance to resume all football activities and plans to play next season.

Cravens, 22, is a former second-round pick of the Redskins back in 2016. He’s currently in the second year of his four-year, $4.430 million contract that included $2.523 million guaranteed and stands to make base salaries of $450,000 and $651,408 over the next two years of the agreement.

In 2016, Cravens appeared in 11 games for the Redskins and recorded 34 tackles, one sack, an interception and five pass defenses. Cravens was limited to playing 294 total snaps last year.
