Impending Browns Free Agent David Njoku Bids Farewell to Cleveland: 'The Time for Me to Find a New Home Has Come'

Njoku, second in Browns history for tight end touchdown catches, leaves amid injuries and team plans for offensive rebuild, becoming a free agent next month.

  • In an Instagram farewell Monday night, David Njoku, tight end, posted `The time for me to find a new home has come and all I can think of is just the gratefulness in my heart`.
  • Playing time and injuries reduced Njoku's role as he caught 33 passes for 293 yards with four touchdowns and missed four games due to a knee injury.
  • Selected 29th overall in 2017, Njoku compiled 384 catches, 4,062 yards, and 34 touchdowns in nine seasons, ranking third in receptions and sixth in touchdowns for the Browns.
  • Financially, Njoku leaves a $24 million dead cap hit, with $9.5 million deferred wages and $14.8 million owed in 2027, complicating the Browns’ salary cap situation, Spotrac reported.
  • Beginning Feb. 17, teams have until March 3 to place franchise or transition tags, while free-agent signings can start March 11, with attention on potential suitors like Atlanta.
