Browns' David Njoku: Agrees to four-year extension

The Browns and Njoku agreed on a four-year, $56.75 million contract extension Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The Browns placed the franchise tag on Njoku earlier in the offseason, but the tight end will now get a massive new extension. Per Rapoport, the deal includes $28 million guaranteed and will pay Njoku an average of $14.19 million per year, making Njoku the fifth-highest-paid tight end in the NFL. The 2017 first-round pick posted 475 yards and four touchdowns last season -- his highest marks since his sophomore campaign.
