Njoku only appeared in four games for the Browns last season due to a wrist injury that saw him land on injured reserve. The Browns appeared to miss Njoku’s services throughout the season, attaining a record of only 6-10, resulting in the firing of then-head coach Freddie Kitchens.
With his trade request, Njoku looks to be the latest receiving threat to be on the move, following premier wideout DeAndre Hopkins moving from the Houston Texans to the Arizona Cardinals in a high profile trade in March.
