The Baltimore Ravens would be wise to strengthen their tight end room in free agency after losing Isaiah Likely to the New York Giants.

According to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Ravens are pursuing the Cleveland Browns’ injury-prone free agent tight end to help Lamar Jackson next season.
“Browns free-agent TE David Njoku visited today with the Baltimore Ravens,” Schefter reported Tuesday.
Njoku is finally a free agent after spending the first nine years of his career with the Browns. Njoku was undoubtedly a reliable receiver for the Browns during the first six years of his tenure with the Browns, but experienced a breakout campaign in Cleveland in Year 7.
The Miami (Florida) product finished the season with 81 receptions, 882 receiving yards, and six touchdowns on a Browns squad that reached the postseason, earning him a trip to the 2023 Pro Bowl.

From exhibiting the ability to gain additional yards after the initial catch to being among the fastest tight ends in the league, Njoku has cemented himself as one of the most versatile and reliable players at the position.
However, Njoku experienced significant health issues in a Browns uniform, as he recently missed several games this past season due to a nagging knee injury.
Still, though, with Likely no longer in the fold, there’s a reason why Cleveland is interested in bringing the 29-year-old on board for the 2026-27 season and perhaps beyond.
