The Los Angeles Chargers have agreed to terms with former Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku on a one-year contract worth up to $8 million, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The veteran playmaker joins the AFC West following a lengthy tenure in Cleveland, where he established himself as a reliable target in the passing game.
Njoku, who spent nine seasons with the Browns, now moves to Los Angeles to catch passes from star quarterback Justin Herbert. The deal was negotiated by agent Malki Kawa of First Round Management, securing the tight end's future for the upcoming season. During his career with the Browns, Njoku developed into a versatile threat, and his arrival in Los Angeles provides the Chargers offense with another experienced weapon in the red zone.
This signing represents a significant addition to the Chargers roster as they look to bolster their offensive options under Herbert. The one-year nature of the deal allows the team flexibility while giving Njoku the opportunity to produce in a high-powered offensive system. Further details regarding the specific incentives within the $8 million agreement have not yet been disclosed.
