Broncos just got Cravens. Probably who they will try to use to stop Kelce.

**BossChief** · 03-28-2018, 09:52 AM

Cravens is a decent player, but he lowers his head all the time and has a bunch of concussions.

He will get a lot of penalties and will retire early due to concussions.

The sad thing for him is the Broncos trainer will just tell him he’s fine every time so he can keep playing...like he’s done with every player that’s played for Denver.

Sassy Squatch · 03-28-2018, 09:53 AM

Every time Cravens gets an ouchie he considers retirement, even back in his USC days.

O.city · 03-28-2018, 09:55 AM

A trade that was deep in the works during the Combine has been finalized. Only question was if he still wants to play... and sounds like he decided at this point he does. https://t.co/e3wNsU2i10

Not a fan of trading for a player unsure if he even wants to play, but if he does he's a good player.

If Cravens' heart is still in it Denver just got a really good player.

The broncos reportedly didn't wanna give up much.

He could be a nice player for them, but I'd remain skeptical with his past.

Codered · 03-28-2018, 09:57 AM

When the Alex Smith trade went down I remember there was some hope that Cravens could be part of the deal around here. He seems like a solid get if the price wasn't too high.

Mother****erJones · 03-28-2018, 09:57 AM

He will retire and then Knomo will make some BS excuse that Denver didn’t want him anyways

Retirement talk actually dated back to last year, two people close to Cravens said.

Defensive coordinator Joe Barry started Cravens as an inside linebacker his rookie year, believing that his athleticism would serve the team well in pass coverage against running backs and tight ends. But Cravens – undersized for the position – sustained a concussion in Week 4 and missed the next two games. Cravens returned to action in Week 7, but teammates sensed his zeal for the game – mainly playing inside linebacker – had started to wane. In Week 14, Cravens sustained a bicep injury that wound up sidelining him the final three weeks of thee season. After the second injury, Cravens didn’t report to Redskins Park for three days, and didn’t tell anyone why. After failed attempts by the coaching staff to reach him, several teammates reached out to Cravens, who informed them that he was contemplating retirement.

That response to injury wasn’t the first such instance in Cravens’ career. At one point, while playing at USC, he went missing for three days after getting hurt and considered quitting football, according to a person with knowledge of Cravens’ past.

Bullshit. People were furious when it was rumored he was the player.

Mother****erJones · 03-28-2018, 09:58 AM

He’s going to check out when Hunt runs his ass over

RunKC · 03-28-2018, 09:59 AM
