The Los Angeles Chargers have agreed to terms with former Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku on a one-year deal worth up to $8 million dollars, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Njoku, 29, became a free agent after his contract voided on Feb. 10. Over the entirety of Njoku's nine-year career, all in Cleveland, he ranks second in Browns history in touchdown catches (34) and receptions (384) for a tight end, only trailing Hall of Famer Ozzie Newsome.
However, Njoku has missed 11 games due to injury in the last two seasons. His production also dipped in 2025; although he caught four touchdown passes, he recorded 33 catches for 293 yards. Njoku's 8.9 yards per reception were the lowest in a season since he was limited to four games in 2019 because of injury.
