Den erfarne tight end David Njoku har endelig fundet sit nye hold. Ifølge NFL Network har Chargers og Njoku indgået en aftale om en ét-årig kontrakt med en samlet værdi på op til 8 millioner dollars. Kontrakten indeholder en baseværdi under dette beløb, men med mulighed for at tjene resten gennem præstationsbonusser.
Njoku, som blev draftet som nummer 29 i 2017, har tilbragt ni år i Cleveland Browns. Hans hidtil bedste sæson kom i 2023, hvor han fangede 81 afleveringer for 882 yards og seks touchdowns – nok til at blive udtaget til Pro Bowl. Med sin afslutning af en fire-årig kontrakt med Browns til en værdi af 54,75 millioner dollars, stod Njoku nu over for en ny udfordring.
I Los Angeles bliver Njoku en væsentlig del af Chargers’ nye angrebssystem under offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel. Holdet råder allerede over fire tight ends, herunder Oronde Gadsden, som i sin rookie-sæson i 2025 opnåede 664 modtagne yards. Med sin lange forhandlingsproces på det frie marked, vil signingen ikke påvirke kompenserende draft-picks for hverken Chargers eller Browns.
