Report: Njoku in 'good place' with Browns after trade request

It appears David Njoku is no longer seeking an exit from the Cleveland Browns.

The tight end is "in a good place with the franchise" after requesting a trade last summer, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

Cleveland reportedly asked for a third-round pick for Njoku prior to the 2020 trade deadline, but the team instead kept the former first-rounder.

Njoku, who's entering the final year of his rookie contract, was once again the subject of trade speculation earlier this offseason.

The 24-year-old dropped behind Austin Hooper on the Browns' depth chart last year, finishing with 19 catches for 213 yards and two touchdowns. Hooper racked up 46 receptions for 435 yards and four scores.

Njoku teased Pro Bowl potential with a 639-yard sophomore campaign in 2018. However, he only played in four games the following season due to a concussion and a wrist injury.
