Why the Patriots should not trade for TE David Njoku

Browns tight end David Njoku and his agent Drew Rosenhaus asked for a trade on Friday, and they want it done before the start of training camp. With Austin Hooper now in the fold, Njoku is undoubtedly the odd man out. Although he may be an intriguing trade target, he would not make sense for what New England is trying to do.

This isn’t so much about his production. He is capable of putting together successful seasons when healthy. He dealt with a wrist injury that only allowed him to play in four games last year.

The 2018 season was his best to date.
