The Browns exercised their 2021 option on David Njoku’s contract, but Njoku would prefer to play elsewhere before the end of next year.
Njoku has requested a trade away from Cleveland before this season. Agent Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN’s Adam Schefter that he informed the team of this request on Friday and that the Browns responded by saying they wanted to keep the 2017 first-round pick, but Njoku and Rosenhaus would like to see movement before training. the camp will open later this month.
“It is in David’s interest to find a new team at this time,” said Rosenhaus.
Njoku broke his wrist last season and has only appeared in four games. He has 93 catches for 1,066 yards and nine touchdowns. The Browns signed Austin Hooper as a free agent and drafted Harrison Bryant in the fourth round earlier this year.
