The Los Angeles Chargers have agreed to terms with former Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku on a one-year deal worth up to $8 million, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Njoku, 29, became a free agent after his contract voided on Feb. 10. Over the entirety of his nine-year career, all in Cleveland, Njoku ranks second in Browns history in touchdown catches (34) and receptions (384) for a tight end, only trailing Hall of Famer Ozzie Newsome.

However, Njoku has missed 11 games due to injury in the last two seasons. His production also dipped in 2025; although he caught four touchdown passes, he recorded 33 catches for 293 yards.…
