The Baltimore Ravens have met with Pro Bowl tight end David Njoku.
The Baltimore Ravens are doing all they can to bolster their roster for the 2026 season, and the team reportedly met with Pro Bowl tight end Davis Njoku.
The Ravens have had a tough offseason thus far, but general manager Eric DeCosta and the front office continue to set meetings with players, including the one with Njoku.
According to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter, the Ravens have met with tight end David Njoku.
The Ravens are in desperate need of another pass catcher, and Njoku could bolster that area for them. The 29-year-old has spent his entire nine-year career with the Ravens' biggest rivals, the Cleveland Browns.
He's been a quality player in the league and a veteran known for his athleticism and red-zone capability. However, Njoku is coming off a lower-production 2025 season.
In 12 games last season with the Browns, Njoku recorded 33 receptions for 293 receiving yards while averaging 8.9 yards per reception along with four touchdowns. Njoku averaged 24.4 yards per contest, the second-lowest of his career.
The Browns' offense was historically bad last season. In 2025, they finished 31st in scoring (16.4 points per game) and finished the season with a 5-12 mark. Cleveland went 11 straight games scoring 17 or fewer points, a franchise record.
While the Ravens' offense was not that bad, it is clear they need a change, and Njoku could do well for Baltimore, considering the loss of Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar.
He could fit in nicely with the Ravens due to his play style. Njoku has established himself as a reliable target throughout his career. On top of that, he is a dependable blocker and a red-zone threat who has overcome injuries, often being viewed as a solid playmaker.
In his nine-year and 118-game career, Njoku has recorded 384 catches for 4,062 receiving yards, averaged 10.6 yards per reception, 34 touchdowns and a catch percentage of 65.3 percent.
The Browns released Njoku this month due to a variety of reasons, some of which include high salary cap hits and the emergence of rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr.
Health has not been on Njoku's side. After a strong 2023 season, he's struggled with injuries, missing 11 games over the past two seasons. Combine that with the Browns going in a different direction, and it's easy to see why he's a free agent now.
Despite being a free agent, Njoku still remains one of the better tight ends in the league. Pairing him with Lamar Jackson would add a big element to the offense.
