Redskins safety Su’a Cravens is officially out for 2017 as he contemplates retirement

https://www.si.com/nfl/2017/09/18/sua-cravens-redskins-retirement-2017-status

The Redskins have placed second-year safety Su’a Cravens on the Reserve/Left Squad list, ending his 2017 season, the team announced Monday.

 

Cravens, slated to be Washington’s starter at strong safety, left the team shortly before the start of the regular season and intended to retire. He was then placed on the Exempt/Left Squad list but was only allowed to stay on that list for four regular season games or five days after the team asked him to report back.

He is out for the year. I would say he is retired.

 

He's out for the year because he was equivocating about playing so the team made the decision to place him on the reserve/left squad list.

Weird situation. I find it fascinating how someone (regardless of their field of work) can literally work their entire life towards achieving a goal only to realize after reaching their goal that it's not what they wanted. Life.

further, why someone would then wait until the season is about to kick off and even begun to retire. he took a dump on the redskins by doing this.

Didn't the guy go temporarily blind last year after taking a hit? I can't say that I blame him. Health is definitely more important than a game.

Yeah

"Due to my concussion, my eyes have lost the memory to keep track of moving objects, so I have to wear these for the rest of my life," Cravens said in the video.

 

Cant fault him for thinking about his long term health with all the CTE stuff out there

He didn't see that coming.

 

Kidding aside, probably a good choice for him.
