Berry, coach Kevin Stefanski and offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt have talked about Njoku as if they really want him back. And Njoku insisted Jan. 10 he wants to be back, despite the Browns failing to meet expectations last season en route to a record of 8-9.
“I love it here. I love it here to the core," he said then. "I honestly want to be here for the rest of my career, so my agent and the Browns are still in talks, we're still negotiating, figuring out what we can do, and we'll go from there.”
Njoku is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent at 4 p.m. March 16 after playing last season on his $6.013 million fifth-year option. In August, Njoku said he would instruct agent Malki Kawa to work toward an extension with the Browns. Tagging Njoku would give the Browns another season with him and more time to reach an extension.
