The Browns have placed a franchise tag on TE David Njoku.
Njoku, a 2017 first-round pick, amassed one of the best seasons of his five-year career in 2021 when he recorded 36 receptions and 475 receiving yards and led the Browns with four receiving touchdowns. He also recorded the longest reception by an NFL tight end in 2021 after a 71-yard touchdown grab against the Chargers on Oct. 10. He’s totaled 1,754 yards and 15 touchdowns across his career and has been a key cog in the Browns’ run game as well, using his massive 6-foot-4, 246-pound frame to clear rushing lanes.
