Broncos S T.J. Ward subject to trade conversations

Denver Broncos safety T.J. Ward has been the subject of ‘-trade conversations’ according to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport via Twitter.
Ward recorded a PFF overall grade of 75.9 in 2016, which was the lowest of his seven year career to date, his best year coming in 2012 while with the Cleveland Browns, with his overall grade of 90.3, ranking fifth among safeties.
During the 2012 season, Ward demonstrated good all around ability with 22 run stops (defensive stops on running plays) equating to a PFF run stop efficiency of 6.1 which ranked fourth out of 55 eligible safeties, and his coverage snaps per reception (the amount of times a safety is the primary man in coverage relative to how many receptions he allowed) of 45.0 ranked first.
Since 2012, Ward has maintained high grades against the run, recording 14 run stops in 2016 and a run stop efficiency of 3.6, ranking 19th among 55 safeties. However, he has been less effective in coverage ranking 59th out of 60 in 2015, and 54th out of 56 in 2016 with regard to coverage snaps per reception.
