Cleveland Browns Consider Trading David Njoku

The Cleveland Browns, facing a disappointing 2-7 record after a loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, are expected to become sellers at the NFL trade deadline, with key players like tight end David Njoku and pass-rusher Za'Darius Smith potentially on the move. Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk noted that Njoku could be available 'for the right price,' as the team prepares for a likely rebuild following Deshaun Watson's Achilles injury and his hefty contract. Njoku, who has been a significant contributor with 30 receptions this season, is under a four-year, $54.75 million contract and would trigger a substantial cap charge if traded. The Browns' current circumstances suggest they might prioritize acquiring draft picks and shedding high-cost veterans. Teams such as the Dallas Cowboys and Indianapolis Colts are viewed as potential landing spots for Njoku, who could enhance their offensive capabilities. As the trade deadline approaches on November 5, the Browns' strategy will significantly impact their future direction.
