Training camp is right around the corner, and David Njoku remains a member of the Cleveland Browns.
That certainly wasn’t his goal. As we heard earlier this month, the tight end was hoping to be training with a new team next week. However, things have been notably quiet since Njoku’s desire to be moved leaked on July 3.
Does this mean the likelihood of his being dealt has decreased? Or have the Browns been quietly working on a move behind the scenes?
Perhaps Cleveland has instead been attempting to convince Njoku to back down from his trade request. We know the team would prefer to keep him, but can it successfully convince him to change his mind? Or is the former first-round pick about to rock the boat and force Cleveland’s hand?
As you can see, this entire ordeal is littered with questions. Provided training camp starts as scheduled, we’re likely on the verge of receiving some much-needed answers.
