What were the Browns thinking

0:35.0

with that David Noghoku contract extension?

0:37.1

Well, they were thinking they got a pretty good tight end on their hands. We'll talk about it right now on fantasy football today in five. Adam Azor and Jacob Gibbs, two members of the David Nizoku fan club, I would say. I don't know, four years, 55-ish million dollars fans, but we're fans. We like them. And Jacob's going to give you the advanced numbers here and tell you maybe what the Browns were seeing and why he could be a good fantasy value as well.

1:49.8

And Jocuz rose by 27% from 2020 to 2021, which is really, really unusual with how inefficient Cleveland's passing offense was as a whole.

1:54.0

And I think people are going to be really excited if they are excited about it, Joku,

1:57.6

because Austin Hooper has been second on the team in targets two or two

2:01.2

straight years uh is is gone and what does that mean where for who uh for njoku yeah a lot of targets

2:08.2

vacated and a lot of routes vacated as well um with hooper out of the picture um and of course you know
