Amid trade rumors, Browns tight end David Njoku wants Cleveland to know that he still has a positive vibe about the city and people.
“I want to make something very clear. I love the city of Cleveland with all my heart,” Njoku tweeted Monday. “This game is full of many complications, but don’t think for a second that I don’t love and appreciate Cleveland and all it has done for me.”
Njoku reportedly requested an exchange earlier this month.
The former first-round tight end had his fifth year option recovered, tying him to Cleveland for the next two years, unless he is granted an exchange. There have been no indications from Browns executives that they plan to agree to a commercial lawsuit at this stage.
The Browns gave Austin Hooper a contract that tops the tight end position this offseason. While new coach Kevin Stefanski uses a lot of double tight end sets, that didn’t stop Njoku from seeing if he could be switched to a friendlier situation.
If he doesn’t get his wish, the 24-year-old has already begun the process of repairing broken fences in Cleveland.
