Mon Nov 03 12:50:00 UTC 2025: Chargers Eye Browns’ Tight End David Njoku Ahead of Trade Deadline
Los Angeles, CA – As the NFL trade deadline looms, the Los Angeles Chargers are reportedly considering bolstering their offense by acquiring Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku. While the Chargers have struggled with injuries on the offensive line and in the running back room, a move for Njoku could provide a significant boost to their passing game.
According to reports, the Browns are not actively shopping Njoku, but might be willing to part ways with the former first-round pick if a suitable offer is presented and, crucially, if Njoku himself approves of the destination. The Browns are said to want to “do right by him,” allowing him input into his potential new team.
This is where the Chargers become a prime candidate. Playing alongside quarterback Justin Herbert and a receiving corps including Ladd McConkey, Keenan Allen, and Oronde Gadsden II, under the leadership of coach Jim Harbaugh, would be an attractive proposition for Njoku.
Njoku’s contract carries an $11.4 million cap hit this year, escalating to $24.3 million in 2026. With Njoku turning 30 next year, the chance to join a Super Bowl contending team like the Chargers could be a compelling factor in his decision.
General Manager is likely exploring the possibility of acquiring Njoku ahead of Tuesday’s deadline. A move for the Browns’ tight end would not only address a potential need at tight end, but also add a dynamic weapon to the Chargers’ offense.
