The Cleveland Browns took one of the most promising tight ends in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Harold Fannin Jr. is a homegrown talent who’s coming off a record-breaking season in college, and while he still needs to work on his game, especially as a blocker, he has the potential to be one of the best in the game.
Considering that, and given his contract situation, the Browns might consider moving on from David Njoku.
With that in mind, Alex Kay of Bleacher Report made a case for the Los Angeles Chargers to make a run at the Miami product:
Trade Terms:
Browns Get: 2026 fifth-round pick
Chargers Get: TE David Njoku“The Los Angeles Chargers should come calling if [David] Njoku is up for grabs. The team desperately needs to improve its tight end situation after failing to land an elite prospect in the 2025 draft and currently has an unexciting veteran duo of Tyler Conklin and Will Dissly set to handle most of the work at that position this season,” Kay wrote. “Adding Njoku into the mix would round out L.A.’s blossoming passing offense and potentially make it a force.”
Njoku is one of the best and most respected players on the team, and he’s been a big factor in the passing game over the past couple of years.
Then again, as good as he is, he’s also struggled with injuries, and he’s still looking to sign a contract extension.
The team reportedly thinks highly of him, yet they haven’t given him the deal he’s looking for.
Perhaps they will want to give Fannin a look before making any long-term commitments to Njoku.
This could also depend on how the team fares early in the season.
If they struggle to win games and stay competitive, they might look to shed money and veteran players off their roster, thus making Njoku somewhat expendable.
Of course, getting just a fifth-round pick for his services might not feel like much, but it would be better than just letting him walk in free agency.
