TE David Njoku, Cleveland Browns
David Njoku is not searching for a new deal but rather feels there’s no longer a role for him in Cleveland’s offense. The Browns’ current regime did not draft Njoku and they elected to sign Austin Hooper to a lucrative deal in free agency while drafting Harrison Bryant in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
A former first-round pick out of the University of Miami, Njoku carved out a role for himself as Cleveland’s starting tight end in 2018. Unfortunately for Njoku, a concussion and broken wrist put him on the shelf for the majority of the 2019 season. He caught five passes for 41 yards and a touchdown in just four games.
With Njoku falling out of favor, it appears that a change of scenery is needed for both parties.
