David Njoku spent nine seasons with the Cleveland Browns. Now a free agent, the tight end visited the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday, and NFL fans had plenty to say about it.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported the visit. It’s Njoku‘s second free-agent visit this offseason, after a trip to the Baltimore Ravens that didn’t result in a deal. The Browns have since moved on, drafting two tight ends and signing another in free agency.
“He is a weirdo. Did anyone see him in Receiver season 2? Hard to watch, a bizarre fella,” one said.

“Good blocker and even better red zone threat, Justin Herbert would definitely benefit,” another added.
“Am I the only Charger fan with a big NO thank you?” one fan posted.
“This guy really hasn’t done much. That’s why he’s always getting bounced around, what they’re paying him isn’t worth what they’re getting,” another wrote.
“Did he not have a bad season last year?” a third asked.
“Please!!! This would be an awesome addition!” One added
David Njoku’s 2025 season was limited. He played 12 games, catching 33 passes for 293 yards and four touchdowns. His role shrank after young tight end Harold Fannin Jr. took over as Cleveland’s starter.
What David Njoku could mean for Justin Herbert and the Chargers
The Chargers have two tight ends on their roster, Oronde Gadsden II and Charlie Kolar. Gadsden is a pass catcher. Kolar is a blocker who saw just 15 targets last season. Los Angeles needs someone who can do both, and that’s where David Njoku fits.
New Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel runs an offense that relies heavily on tight ends. Njoku’s best season came in 2023: 81 catches, 882 yards and six touchdowns. According to Spotrac, he’s projected to earn around $10 million over two years.
