The Cleveland Browns should have dealt this Pro Bowler at the NFL trade deadline.
Cleveland stood pat elsewhere, which came as a bit of a surprise given all of the tradeable players the team had/has on its roster.Njoku was viewed as a fringe trade candidate heading into the deadline, given the fact that the Browns are just 2-7 on the season and should probably start stockpiling some draft capital.
Yes, the 28-year-old made a Pro Bowl last season after hauling in 81 receptions for 882 yards and six scores, but a good chunk of that production came with Joe Flacco at quarterback. Injuries have certainly played a role in Njoku's vacillating numbers in Cleveland, but he has also been rather shaky overall.
Do the Browns really want to commit to such volatility long term? Njoku turns 29 in July, and he has a rather questionable injury history.
