The Njoku contract is a bit rich within the context of his inconsistent production to this point and how he's being paid vs other top TEs.. But, the structure of the contract allows the Browns to get out pretty easily, pretty quickly if things go south -- the deal is a two-year deal with two team options..
The Browns backed themselves into a bit of a corner by not signing or drafting a TE... While they may be going away from 2-3 TE looks, only having Njoku and Bryant on the roster made bringing Njoku back an almost guarantee..
Njoku has never had a QB like Watson before and Watson has never had a TE like Njoku before, so combined with the fact Njoku could realistically be the #2 or #3 target in the passing game, the opportunity for Njoku is there..
