Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku and his agent Drew Rosenhaus have asked for a trade, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Browns want to keep Njoku, but Rosenhaus made it known Njoku is focused on a trade.
The Browns exercised Njoku's fifth-year option in April, keeping him under contract until 2021. Browns general manager Andrew Berry said at the time they believed in Njoku's talent and wanted him to be a part of their future, despite multiple additions to the tight end room this offseason.
The additions of Austin Hooper and Harrison Bryant to the tight end room this offseason makes Njoku's request to be traded less of a problem.
