The Baltimore Ravens are showing interest in former Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku, hosting him for a free-agent visit. Njoku, a Pro Bowler in 2023, would help shore up the Ravens' tight end room after the departure of Isaiah Likely in free agency.

Why it matters

The Ravens are in need of a pass-catching tight end to complement their star tight end Mark Andrews. Njoku, who had a career-high 882 receiving yards in 2023, could provide that complementary threat if signed.

The details

According to the league's transactions wire, the Ravens hosted Njoku for a free-agent visit on Tuesday. Baltimore currently has only two tight ends under contract - Andrews and Durham Smythe, who is more of a blocking tight end. Njoku, 27, has battled injuries in recent years but would have a reduced workload playing alongside Andrews, increasing his chances of staying healthy.
