Veteran Tight End David Njoku Signs with LA Chargers After 9 Seasons with Browns
- On Monday, May 11, 2026, the Los Angeles Chargers signed veteran tight end David Njoku to a 1-year contract worth up to $8 million, pairing him with quarterback Justin Herbert.
- After nine seasons with the Cleveland Browns, Njoku departs having recorded 384 receptions for 4,062 yards and 34 touchdowns, though his tenure was hampered by 11 missed games due to injuries.
- Joining a depth chart featuring second-year tight end Oronde Gadsden, who posted 49 catches and 664 yards as a rookie, Njoku provides the Chargers with a physical mismatch weapon for 12 personnel packages.
- By signing in May, the Chargers avoid impacting their compensatory pick formula for the 2027 draft, allowing the team to bolster the roster without losing future draft capital.
- Cleveland plans to transition to 2025 third-round pick Harold Fannin, who broke out as a rookie with 72 catches and 731 yards, while adding depth through Joe Royer and Carsen Ryan.
