Overview
- The Nov. 4 deadline passed with Cleveland retaining the ninth-year tight end despite weeks of trade chatter.
- Njoku told reporters he was "happy as hell" to stay and shouted, "I'm not going nowhere. I ain't f---ing leaving."
- He is in the final year of his deal and said he hopes to reach an extension to remain in Cleveland beyond this season.
- Cleveland’s only deadline move sent Joe Tryon-Shoyinka and a seventh-round pick to the Bears for a sixth-round pick.
- Context for the decision includes Njoku’s 27 catches for 260 yards and two touchdowns this year and rookie Harold Fannin Jr.’s team-leading tight end production with 38 receptions for 352 yards and two scores.
