What happened: Former Browns tight end David Njoku, now a free agent, is scheduled to visit the Chargers on Monday, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The visit signals mutual interest as Los Angeles weighs additions at the tight end position heading into the 2026 season. Multiple outlets including Underdog NFL and Sleeper NFL have echoed the report.

Why it matters: The Chargers have been active reshaping their roster this offseason, including selecting Miami DE Akheem Mesidor at No. 22 in the 2026 NFL Draft. Adding a veteran pass-catching tight end like Njoku would give Justin Herbert a proven target in the middle of the field. A visit does not guarantee a signing, but it does indicate the Chargers see Njoku as a fit.

What to watch: Watch for whether Njoku leaves Los Angeles with a contract or continues his free agency tour. Other tight-end-needy teams could enter the picture if Monday's visit ends without a deal.
