David Njoku to Depart Browns, Bengals Eyeing Pro Bowl TE in Free Agency

Veteran tight end David Njoku has announced his departure from the Cleveland Browns for the 2026 season, ending his tenure with the team since being drafted in 2017. Njoku, who had a career-best 882 receiving yards and six touchdowns in 2023, is coming off a less productive 2025 season (293 yards, 4 TDs). Despite turning 30, he remains a top downfield threat. The Cincinnati Bengals are reportedly considering pursuing Njoku in free agency to bolster their offense alongside Joe Burrow.
