Low cost, low risk move here. Former 1st Round pick.

COVID Year I believe, and it was just Joe Tryon back then to TB.

They only had 3 healthy DE's on the active roster coming into this week (Sweat, Booker, Hardy). They had to do something—I just wish it was for somebody who can actually help. This guy has 5 tackles and 0 sacks on the season. You can find somebody on the street for that kind of production.

I never thought I’d say this but I really hope Dom Rob gets well quickly.

If you want the best compensation (draft picks) for your top players, wait until the NFL trade deadline. Teams give up far too much for quality players, hoping it will give them a shot at the playoffs/Super Bowl.

We have all agreed that the most successful teams build through the draft. Swapping a 6th for a 7th is just a handshake to make the deal official. We keep our top draft capital, which, with BJ's input, will hopefully result in a quality starter.

Tryon-Shoyinka stands 6-foot-5, 260 pounds and is 26 years old. He was a  first-round draft pick by Tampa Bay, the last pick of Round 1 in 2021 out of Washington.

This season Tryon-Shoyinka has recorded three pressures without a sack but his playing time is way down with the Browns with just 31 plays on defense and 58 on special teams.

Was a teammate of K Gordon—a cheap one-year rotational piece to help out our D and ST.

Good Deal, IMHO.

Actually 5 tackles in 31 snaps is pretty good. After being signed late the Browns just havent given him any playing time. The Bears were never going to trade for a big contract edge. What they were looking for was added depth that will  fill in as a rotational DE . Joe T-S best year was 40 pressures, 5 sacks, 7 TFL, &  7 QB hits and one forced fumble in 50% of the snaps. 

He is 26 and signed for two yrs at 4.6 mil that can be cut at any time for no dead money. As someone said, low risk, low cost. If we can get  4 or 5 sacks out of him in 9 games he will have been well worth it.
