Team news: Cleveland Browns

Browns WR Jarvis Landry (hip) was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list Saturday

Landry is recovering from offseason hip surgery but passed his physical Saturday, allowing him to come off the list. He’s our current WR29 in half-PPR. His health looks good and he will still be a solid part of the Browns offense, under new head coach Kevin Stefanski. He’s been going around the 6th-7th rounds.

The Browns have placed WR Jarvis Landry (hip) on active/PUP.

Trotter went on to say there has been no setback, and Landry is still on schedule to return from offseason hip surgery. The Browns are conducting physicals this weekend for veterans who passed three rounds of Covid testing last week. Landry has said he’d be hoping and expecting to get cleared sometime during training camp, before the start of the season.

Browns’ TE David Njoku has had “some good meetings with the new Browns’ organization including GM Andrew Berry and he has decided to give the team his full commitment right now and go from there,” said his agent, Drew Rosenhaus.

Njoku requested a trade earlier this summer after the team signed Hooper to a big deal. Njoku staying in Cleveland won't help his fantasy owners as he'll play behind Hooper.

My understanding is TE David Njoku remains a big part of the Browns plans, going back to the winter and the transition in the organization.

Njoku has wanted out of Cleveland for a while, according to reports, perhaps even more now with the Hooper signing. Anderson said the Browns believe Njoku can still have a great year for the team. Anderson added in the tweet the Bears are monitoring the situation.

Browns’ TE David Njoku and his agent Drew Rosenhaus asked today for the team to trade him. The Browns told Njoku they would like to keep him, but Rosenhaus told them he’s intent on a trade. They want a trade before training camp.

About David Njoku’s trade request today to the Browns, agent Drew Rosenhaus said: "It is in David's best interest to find a new team at this time."

David Njoku is obviously unhappy with the addition of Austin Hooper to the roster for 2020, and is looking for a team to be their TE1. Keep an eye on this situation as it could certainly have an effect on his current 20th round ADP. Njoku has 1,066 receiving yards and nine touchdowns in his three-year career with the Browns.

Browns reached agreement with former Redskins' QB Case Keenum on a three-year, $18 million deal that includes $10 million guaranteed, per source.

Case Keenum has yet to show much since his magic season in 2017 with Minnesota, but the 32-year old keeps getting gigs. He'll provide some veteran leadership for Baker Mayfield and can keep things going if needed in Cleveland.

#Falcons free agent TE Austin Hooper, the top player at his position, is headed to the #Browns, per @TomPelissero, @MikeSilver
and me. They’ve agreed to terms, he’s the new highest-paid TE.

Austin Hooper reportedly becomes the highest-paid TE in the NFL with a four-year deal worth $44 million. This adds another weapon for Baker Mayfield in an already talented arsenal featuring Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham. It may be tough for Hooper to repeat 2019's TE6 finish.

Browns placed a second-round tender on running back Kareem Hunt.

Kareem Hunt played in eight games in 2019, posting just 464 combined yards and three touchdowns. he'll continue to be second-fiddle to Nick Chubb in the Browns backfield.

Austin Hooper will be 26 in October and is coming off a career-high season in receptions (75), yards (787) and touchdowns (6). Despite letting him test the waters, the Falcons should still be heavily involved in negotiations with the fifth-year TE, but their cap situation may hinder their ability to retain him.

Landry should be back by training camp, which is good news for the Browns. As a bright spot for the offense last season, the 27-year old had 83 receptions for 1,174 yards and six touchdowns, which translated to 14.8 PPR points per contest.
