"One of the more intriguing names set to hit the market is David Njoku, the do-it-all tight end of the Cleveland Browns. He recently announced on Instagram that he'll be leaving his team of nine years in free agency this March, and it didn't take long for speculation to swirl around him landing with the Patriots. Mike Vrabel got an up-close look at Njoku during his 2024 season with Cleveland"
"Building around that asset is the team's main priority going forward, starting with this year's truncated offseason coming off an appearance in Super Bowl LX. We're already closing in on the NFL's legal tampering window for free agents, which arrives on March 9. No one's expecting another offseason spending spree like last year, but head coach Mike Vrabel should be seeking help for his quarterback, and tight end should be high on his list."
Drake Maye is a rare MVP-level asset for the Patriots and building around him is the team's primary priority after a 2025 season that ended in Super Bowl LX. The legal tampering window opens March 9, creating a short offseason to address roster needs. Tight end is a priority position after Hunter Henry's regular-season success faded in the playoffs and Austin Hooper underperformed despite significant snaps. New England needs a younger, more athletic, and more physical tight end who can block and protect on short-yardage and obvious passing downs. David Njoku is entering free agency and presents a clear fit, with head coach Mike Vrabel having observed him closely while on the Browns' staff.
