Cleveland is hoping to have the tight end return sooner rather than later, but his timeline is currently uncertain. At just 1-5 overall, the Browns could certainly use the help.</p><p>Njoku, 29, has appeared in six games this season. The 2023 Pro Bowl tight end has recorded a touchdown and 23 receptions up to this point in the ’25 campaign. He’s also added 223 receiving yards.</p><p>Njoku’s numbers are impressive considering Cleveland’s QB uncertainty. After beginning the year with Joe Flacco under center, the Browns made the decision to turn to rookie Dillon Gabriel. Without a reliable option at the position, the Browns’ receiving options are simply doing everything they can to find success.</p><p>Njoku’s absence leaves a glaring hole in Cleveland’s offense. The Browns’ offense will need a complete team effort in order to perform well without Njoku on the field.</p><p>The good news for Cleveland, however, is Miami hasn’t exactly played an elite brand of football. Sunday’s game will be winnable, as the Dolphins are set to enter play at just 1-5 as well. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:00 PM EST on Sunday afternoon.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Although it is still early in the season, experts are already expecting the Browns to position themselves as sellers at the trade deadline and potentially move either David Njoku or Greg Newsome II.</p><p>With Njoku and Newsome both proving to be skillful players on expiring contracts, either could be <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46303239/2025-nfl-trade-deadline-early-look-players-candidates-teams-fits-buzz" rel="noopener">used as trade pieces</a>, ESPN’s Dan Graziano speculated.</p><p>“Starting the season 0-2 and seemingly already positioning themselves to be a big factor in next year’s draft (two first-round picks), the Browns could very easily be dealing away players by early November,” Graziano wrote. “Cornerback Greg Newsome II and tight end David Njoku are among the veterans in the final years of their contracts who could be of interest to teams looking for help at the deadline.”</p><p>In addition to their contract situations, Newsome and Njoku both have young players seemingly ready to fill their roles. Njoku has split snaps with rookie Harold Fannin Jr., who is second on the team with 111 receiving yards through two games.</p><p>Newsome is less expendable, particularly with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/cleveland-browns/browns-news-martin-emerson-jr-feared-have-torn-achilles-during-training-camp">Martin Emerson Jr. already on IR</a> for the rest of the year. However, second-year Myles Harden emerged as a hidden gem late in 2024 and has gotten off to a solid start in 2025.</p><h2><b>ESPN adds Browns QB situation to trade speculation</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Browns-CB-Greg-Newsome.jpg"><figcaption>Peter Casey-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Graziano also expects trade rumors involving quarterback Joe Flacco to ramp up each week. Should the Browns continue to lose, fan cries for rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders will only increase.</p><p>“And a quarterback room that has 40-year-old veteran Joe Flacco and rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders is going to keep being talked about in these types of discussions.”</p><p>The Browns have already said that they do not expect Sanders to see much time in 2025. Even if they deal Flacco, a move that seems unlikely, Gabriel will get the call.</p><p>Sanders is clearly the fan favorite, but Gabriel is the player Cleveland selected earlier in the 2025 NFL Draft, and the guy the team leaned toward in the preseason. On paper, Sanders’ numbers were arguably better than those of Gabriel, but the nuances and intricate details favor the Hawaiian southpaw.</p><p>The Browns continue to stand by Flacco, but trade speculation will likely intensify each week. Cleveland’s situation does not get much easier in Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers, who have looked like Super Bowl contenders thus far.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Will they <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-myles-garrett-reacts-zadarius-smith-trade-rumors">send Za’Darius Smith to another team</a>, or will <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-jameis-winston-key-browns-nfl-trade-deadline-stance">Jameis Winston’s new role</a> make them stand pat? But the Browns seem set on not trading David Njoku, calling it <a href="https://x.com/Schultz_Report/status/1853552319964623097" rel="noopener">highly unlikely despite interest</a>, according to a post on X by Jordan Schultz.</p><p>“Sources: Despite receiving interest on Pro Bowl TE David Njoku, the #Browns are “highly unlikely” to trade him. Cleveland views “Chief” as part of its long-term future.”</p><p>Njoky has not enjoyed a banner year with 30 catches for 255 yards and two touchdowns. But a lot of those numbers got driven down by poor performances from now-injured quarterback Deshaun Watson.</p><h2><b>Browns TE David Njoku seen as a difference maker</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Cleveland-Browns-TE-David-Njoku.jpg"><figcaption>Scott Galvin-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The reason NFL teams are chasing Njoku is the perception he can make a real difference with a good quarterback on a good team. Last year Njoku caught 81 passes for 882 yards and six scores.</p><p>And Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio implied, via usatoday.com, there is a price that <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2024/11/04/david-njoku-trade-rumors-landing-spots/76045202007/" rel="noopener">can be paid</a> for Njoku.</p><p>“One name to keep an eye on – tight end David Njoku,” Florio said. “He could be available for the right price.”</p><p>The thinking seems to center on Njoku’s contract situation. He will enter the last season of a four-year, $54.7 million deal in 2025.</p><p>Among the teams that could chase Njoku are the Colts, Chargers, Patriots, and Commanders. The Colts seem to be a logical spot despite the team coming off a loss to the Vikings and falling to 4-5. Njoku thrived with Joe Flacco at quarterback with the Browns last season. In three of their four games, Njoku totaled at least 90 yards receiving. He also scored four TDs.</p><p>He would also seem to fit well in Los Angeles with Jim Harbaugh’s conservative offense.</p><p>The Commanders are a wild card in the hunt for Njoku. Washington needs another receiving threat for rookie standout quarterback Jayden Daniels. Njoku would provide that and make the Commanders’ strong offense even more dangerous. It could make Terry McLaurin tougher to handle on the outside with Njoku causing trouble in the middle of the field.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
