Former Miami TE David Njoku Is Moving On From Cleveland

[Trinton Breeze]

Well, folks. If you had “David Njoku not returning to Cleveland in 2026” on your offseason bingo card, congrats, you’re doing better than most of us.

After nine seasons in brown and orange, Njoku is officially moving on. The former Hurricane wraps up his Browns career with 384 catches, 4,062 yards, and 34 touchdowns, and he’ll now test the free-agent market.

Njoku posted a short thank-you message to Cleveland, making it clear this one wasn’t easy, but that it was time. For a while, it...

No way its been nine ******* years! Thats wild. I cant comprehend time anymore lol.

 

[Dr. House]

There's a place in the north east where a team needs a TE that can move.

 

[grover]

He was wasting his time with Cleveland. Hope he goes to a program that knows how to use him

Cleveland is a terrible destination for a really talented player.

So is Miami. Joku needs to go to a winner.

I bet he'd look good with Cam Ward throwing him the ball. The Titans aren't winning yet, but give Ward some weapons and they will be.

Saw him at a HS football game a couple of years ago. I never realized just how big (no Diddy) that guy is. He's one in a long list of 'Canes banished to the frozen tundra of NE Ohio.

I know it won’t happen but I’d love Saints to pick him up. lol

Ertz is done, Sinnott has failed. Njoku just what Jayden Daniels needs at TE in DC.

Well, folks. If you had “David Njoku not returning to Cleveland in 2026” on your offseason bingo card, congrats, you’re doing better than most of us.

Njoku posted a short thank-you message to Cleveland, making it clear this one wasn’t easy, but that it was time. For a while, it really did feel like the Browns had found their guy.



That feeling peaked in 2023. Njoku had the best season of his career, 81 catches, 882 yards, six scores, and a Pro Bowl.

Then things kinda went down hill for him:

Injuries, bad quarterback play, and constant changes on offense made it tough for Njoku to ever stay a focal point. By this past season, his role started shrinking, younger players got more looks, and the writing was pretty much on the wall.

Now he hits free agency at 29 years old, still the same ole David Njoku, and still a matchup problem when used right.

For Miami fans, it’s a reminder of how fun Njoku was in Coral Gables, and why someone else is about to talk themselves into him real quick.

Cleveland turns the page. Njoku gets a fresh start. And somewhere, a quarterback just smiled.

What's his NIL $?

Mario kicks tires on him?

We byke?

 

[Negro-Wan Kanobi]

We need him in Philly, Godert stays hurt.

 

[Hurricajun]

I know it won’t happen but I’d love Saints to pick him up. lol

We are definitely in the market. Moreau gone. Hill gone. Johnson is boom or bust at best. If the numbers are right, bring him in.

leaving a team that had TWO probowl QB's last year is an interesting choice

[simplycanes]

Does he have any eligibility left?

 

[CaneThang2020]

Be interesting to see where he lands. I’m just glad he’s out of the NFL dungeon Cleveland.

 

[Braduhley]

Nearly a decade???

 

[Tinman64]

Would be nice with pats…cut henry

 

[Madabs]

I hate Cleveland; they screwed Duke Johnson and never utilized Njoku. No cane should ever go there.

 

[Golsen82]

Ertz is done, Sinnott has failed. Njoku just what Jayden Daniels needs at TE in DC.

Excuse me but I want Dak to throw to njoku. Dallas gonna have the Dak Attack offense next year

I was so sad for both, especially Duke when they drafted them. I knew Duke's career was over before it got started.
