"And even though his numbers are down this season, David Njoku could be a risk worth taking if he hits the open market as expected. Njoku's athleticism and ability to gain yards after the catch remain intriguing. The Cleveland Browns struck gold with rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr., moving the veteran into a more secondary role on offense. The AFC North club is unlikely to offer him the money he wants on another extension,"
"Peters ran it back with most of those who made the 2024 NFC Championship game. He once again signed several aging veterans, making Washington the NFL's oldest roster by a considerable margin. The gamble backfired, so a strategic rethink is crucial. One of these centers on the tight end position. Pro Bowl veteran Zach Ertz is done in Washington after tearing his ACL. John Bates is a blocking specialist, and the young duo of Ben Sinnott and Colson Yankoff remains minimal contributors at best."
The Commanders must overhaul their roster toward younger players after a failed gamble on aging veterans left the team the NFL's oldest. The tight end group is depleted after Zach Ertz's ACL tear, with John Bates serving primarily as a blocker and rookie Ben Sinnott and Colson Yankoff offering minimal offensive impact. David Njoku presents a potential free-agent solution because of his athleticism and yards-after-catch ability, despite reduced production this season. The Browns may not re-sign Njoku given Harold Fannin Jr.'s emergence, and Njoku could command roughly $10.4 million per season on a two-year deal.
