Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku and his new agent Drew Rosenhaus have requested a trade from the Browns, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Schefter also reported the Browns want to keep Njoku, but the tight end is "intent" on being traded.
After the Browns signed Austin Hooper to a multi-year contract this offseason to replace Njoku as the No. 1 tight end, it is not surprising to see Njoku want a fresh start. Entering the final guaranteed season of his rookie deal, Njoku will want to find a team where he can be utilized often to attempt to cash in on a second contract.
