BEREA, Ohio – The Cleveland Browns have agreed on terms for a new four-year contract with David Newku, a source told ESPN on Friday.
The deal is worth $ 56.75 million, including a guaranteed $ 28 million, a source confirmed to ESPN.
The Browns put the label on Njoku’s franchise earlier this off-season and had until July 15 to agree to a long-term contract. If they hadn’t, Njoku would have played the 2022 season in the $ 10.931 million franchise auction, according to a note received earlier from ESPN.
The 25-year-old Nyoku has a total of 148 assists in five seasons with the Browns, including 36 for 475 yards and four touchdowns last season.
His best season came during Baker Mayfield’s quarterback in 2018, when he made the best of his career 56 catches at 639 yards. After being targeted 88 times this year, Njoku’s goals have declined over the past three seasons.
However, the Browns believe that Newku will prosper with the new quarterback Deshon Watson.
According to a study by ESPN Stats & Information, Njoku topped his career last season in goal yards and post-catch yards, showcasing the physical skills that made him the 29th overall pick in the 2017 draft. Njoku finished fourth. in the league among narrow ends in the target’s yard (9.0 yards) and tied for first in the yard after catching the target (6.7 yards).
The NFL Network first announced the terms of Njoku’s extension.
