I would be more inclined to trade for O J Howard. Howard does not appear to be thriving in Bruce Arians offense.  

Howard hasn't thrived in anyone's offense

I wouldn't trade for him at all. He literally has two cinder blocks on the end of his wrists. 

 

How so?  64% catch in 2018

Olsen is still better even at age 34 and he'll be cheaper. Njoku is pretty average. I wouldn't mind signing him if he's released and Olsen signs elsewhere.

TE David Njoku

He fell out of favor under the previous regime, as he was a regular healthy scratch down the stretch after returning from IR after a wrist injury. Had coach Freddie Kitchens and general manager John Dorsey been retained, Njoku almost certainly would have been out the door. Still, while Njoku would have a fresh start under a new coach and front office, it's clear he was also losing the trust of QB Baker Mayfield. That's why the 2017 first-round selection might be better off attempting to resuscitate his career elsewhere -- especially if the Browns can get something that can help them in return. -- Jake Trotter

 

He was a super talented TE prospect coming out of Miami who has battled a couple injuries, but has flashed on the field at times. I'd see if we could swing one of our 5th or 6th round picks for him. It may or may not work, depending on if Cleveland is wanting to part ways and what they would want for compensation. It's another way to add a potential weapon for Josh in a relatively cheap manner though. 

 

he was impressive, getting indoctrinated in the process could be rejuvenating.
