Browns tight end David Njoku plans to speak with defensive lineman Myles Garrett about his request to be traded, hoping to keep him on the team. Njoku, a longtime teammate of Garrett’s since their 2017 draft, is willing to do what it takes to keep Garrett in Cleveland.
Njoku expressed his commitment to the Browns, stating that he considers them “Cleveland ride or die.” He hopes Garrett doesn’t leave and would like to talk him into staying. Njoku understands Garrett’s desire for a championship, but wants to win with the team that drafted him.
The two have been teammates since 2017, including both being selected by the Browns in the first round of that year. Njoku can relate to Garrett’s situation, having requested a trade himself in the past. However, General Manager Andrew Berry denied his request, and now Njoku is happy with his decision.
Njoku’s willingness to have an open conversation with Garrett shows he values their relationship and wants to keep him on the team. The outcome of their talks remains uncertain, but Njoku is determined to do what it takes to convince Garrett to stay in Cleveland.
