Njoku gets tagged

The Browns are using the franchise tag to keep TE Davis Njoku from reaching free agency, according to NFL Network. It’s not a surprising move, given recent reports they were hoping to resign the TE. Njoku’s best statistical season to date came back in 2018, when he caught 56 balls for 639 yards and 4 TDs. He hasn’t otherwise exceeded 36 receptions or 475 yards. Cleveland still has Austin Hooper and Harrison Bryant on the roster as well, though Hooper looks like a cut candidate. Njoku looks ok as a late best-ball pick in early drafting. He’s a high-ceiling athlete for the position and is heading into just his age-26 season
