CLEVELAND (AP) — Tight end David Njoku got the long-term commitment he wanted from the Cleveland Browns, agreeing to a four-year contract extension Friday, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press.
Njoku, who figures to have a more prominent role in Cleveland's offense this season, will be among the NFL's highest-paid tight ends, said the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because the sides were still finalizing the package,
Financial terms were not immediately known.
A first-round pick in 2017, Njoku has had an eventful stay in Cleveland. Two years ago, he asked to be traded but has since become a dependable player and now a core piece for a team with Super Bowl ambitions.
