I forget, did we ever find out exactly what we got for him?

Browns receive: 2021 undisclosed draft pick

Eagles receive: DE/LB Genard Avery

I read somewhere it’s a 4th rounder

Finally! It looks like Chief David Njoku just might be active against the Bengals. Then we'll really get to see this offense shine. He's our big target. With Landry and OBJ both standing at 5'11 or 5'10, Njoku give defense's a BIG PROBLEM to worry about come gameday. It's on like donkey kong now brother. Gotta win out and we just pulled out the big guns. DAWG CHECK!!!

Sounds to me that this will be his last game in orange and brown. Dorsey isn’t real keen on his fundamentals, especially blocking.
He’s a goner

I doubt Lombardi would ever make something up to make the team that fired him look bad.

LOLBardi is as bad a source as he is a talent evaluator.

I would take a 4th round pick for Njoku

Just as the sun rises He’s good for a drop, a crucial missed block and dumb penalty each game. The size and speed are obvious. We need a football guy though

When you drop one for a turnover, then the coach gives you hell for it.... probably a bad idea to bitch back. If Fat Freddy returns, it’s a lock Dave won’t be here. Doubtful regardless.

I’ll pass on that. This entire offense this season has been putrid. I’ll hold on to one of my former 1st rounders and figure out how to use a big body, athletic player.

But I’m not a worthless head coach who can’t figure out how to use my players either.

Do we have any ideas why Njoku is a healthy scratch? Wtf is going on? Higgins too?

He’s Either Hurt...he’s unused...or ineffective.

sooner or later big body athlete needs to convert God given talent to first round production.

Higgins is the true mystery. He served as a security blanket all last year. We have guys like K Hodge getting his touches

Yeah, but I THINK I understand this one. I think Higgins and Freddie got into it a while ago about Higgins being healthy and when he should have returned. Sounds like it just escalated. But why cut off your nose despite your face if you're Kitchens? Wouldn't that help your offense and your struggling QB to play Higgins and/or Njoku?

Uhh, if Lombardi says anything, expect the exact opposite.

Unless he is just talking about the DC.....that makes sense.

Exactly the type of pettiness that a one and done coach would exhibit.

Its okay to punish but punish hard and then move on.

Another example of poor leadership here

Ahh....the great Mike Lombotomy speaks.

Canton Mike

Who knows what may happen, but I'm not hanging my hat on ANYTHING coming from Lombardi.

Anything coming out of the Lombardi camp comes with a heaping helping of sour grapes...

Higgins and Njoku should be out there. OBJ, Landry, Higgins, Njoku, Chubb and Hunt should all be back with a real OC and HC 2020. Fuck Freddie. His bullshit cost us the playoffs, with the Randall thing as well. Our safety getting canned because he spat some shit on twitter and Myles beating Rudolph with his helmet are all direct cause and effect of poor leadership. He's our coach until 4:30 tomorrow and then it's peace out Fucker. Thanks for nothing.
