Ian Rapoport reports that the Chargers are signing former Browns TE David Njoku to a one-year deal worth up to $8 million.
He played nine seasons in Cleveland and worked out for both the Ravens and the Chargers before deciding to sign with the Chargers.
Njoku, 29, is a former first-round pick of the Browns back in 2017 out of Miami. He signed a four-year, $9.5 million contract with the Browns.
The Browns picked up Njoku’s fifth-year option for roughly $6 million for the 2021 season. He was set to be an unrestricted free agent in 2022 when the Browns franchise-tagged him.
Njoku was then signed to a four-year, $56.75 million extension by Cleveland.
In 2025, Njoku appeared in 12 games for the Browns, making 11 starts. He recorded 33 receptions for 293 yards and four touchdowns.
