LAD_Brooklyn Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 According to multiple reports, the Browns have franchise tagged Njoku. The move sets Njoku up to make over $10.9 million for the 2022 season and would leave the door open for the two sides to talk about a longer deal until July 15. Njoku was the 29th pick of the 2017 draft and is coming off a season that saw him catch 36 passes for 475 yards and four touchdowns in 16 appearances. He has 148 catches for 1,754 yards and 15 touchdowns over his entire run in Cleveland. Teams have until 4 p.m. ET on March 8 to use franchise tags. Chiefs tackle Orlando Brown and Bengals safety Jessie Bates are also expected to be tagged before that deadline passes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Untouchable Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I’d rather the Jets bring in a guy like Hearst or Conklin for a fraction of the cost anyway. Njoku was always going to be overpaid based purely on his athletic ability. A McBride/Hearst pairing sounds good to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbia Jet Fan Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Pretty crazy considering they have Hooper who has a $13mm cap hit this season (and Bryant but they pay him next to nothing). Can't see them shelling out close to $25mm for two mediocre TEs. Maybe they eat some of the Hooper contract and move him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 1 hour ago, Sarge4Tide said: Rumor is both Geisicki and Schultz will also be tagged I don't think Geisicki's on their radar anyway. I don't focus on him week after week, but he apparently blocks about as well as our young RBs. Maybe worse. Schultz will probably get tagged, too, as much as I'd like it to not be so. Releasing/trading Cooper - and Lawrence - will clear up more than enough to tag him, plus some more breathing room, too. If Cooper's traded and Lawrence designated a 6/1 cut they could clear up $35MM for this season. Of course they're Gronk's not coming here. Everett could be a target. TE would probably be a round 2 priority, though. Ertz would be a good old guy-new guy to pair with a day 2 TE. Or maybe Rudolph. Maybe Uzomah, if he's not re-signed. With their sorry-ass OL he probably got a lot of practice blocking lol. Also Tyler Conklin's a UFA. Meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varjet Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 The NFLPA has some work to do, but teams are incentivized to franchise good S and TE. Why invest years of guaranties in them. Schultz will be franchised too. Robinson and Godwin would be year 2 franchisees. that starts getting expensive. If I were the NFLPA, the only positions that should be franchiseable are QB and EDGE.

If I'm Njoku, I sign that franchise tender IMMEDIATELY. Pay me 10M to be your 3rd string TE and hit FA again next year?

k-met57 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 most of the guys on that list arent THAT good. i am ok with drafting this position as opposed to overpaying for average players. that being said, we should have drafted one last year, and should draft 2 this year.
